Migraine ? I get a couple migraines a month. They are always on my left side and hurt like hell. I usually get them in the evening so I can just go to bed and when I wake up they are gone only I have a lot of pressure on my right side - not pain, just pressure that usually goes away after mid-day. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if they have any tips on how to make it feel better without having to go to sleep.

What is a good migraine medication that is comparable to Topamax, without the side effects? I had been taking Topamax for migraines.

For those of you that don't know, Topamax is used to prevent migraines, not to help with the pain. If anyone has personal experience I would prefer your answer. I don't want answers like imitrex, maxalt, zomig, as these are to treat the pain after you have gotten a migraine. I want an answer for a med to prevent the migraines. Thanks in advance.
