Feels like failure

I finally gave in and started taking Topamax.  Tuesday was my first day so it's way to early to notice anything.  I did have a migraine yesterday, but I'm still on the lowest dose, so I can't get discouraged by that.  I start at 25 mg for a week...then I bump it up to 50mg for a week...then 75mg...then 100mg.  Hopefully that's it.  My master plan is that, assuming Topamax works, I'll stay on it for a year.  At the same time I'll continue acupuncture and the CoQ10.  I'm also going to go to a chiropractor for a while, too, because I really do have a lot of neck issues.  My hope is that the Topamax will help me get rid of migraines but that once I kind of get out of this awful cycle, I can look to the acupuncture to keep them at bay.  Who knows if it will work, but that thought process made it a bit easier to start taking the meds in the first place.  So we'll see.
