Default Somebody help me lie - topa?

I've got everything to start the program except the topa, which won't arrive for another 2 weeks. Thinking about going to a walk-in clinic and asking for a "refill" on my migraine meds (can't have alcohol problems on my records for insurance). I really really want to start this!! I read online that topa is taken regularly to prevent migraines, not to treat them once they've started. Does anyone know what a typical dosage is for migraines and how often it's taken?

I realize I'm asking people to contribute to my bad behavior - sorry!

Turns out I lied just fine by myself, ha! I'm afraid I'm sadly lacking in remorse. HOPE is a beautiful thing!!!

Larisa,

You are not the first here do to just that.

Good on you for taking the bull by the horns. It is also good to have a doctor prescribe it so that you can be monitored in case there are any side effects.

Good luck!!

Cindi

Thank you both! I got 50 25 mg with one refill. I figure I'll order online in the future if all goes well.

Man, I love the support here.
