Can prolonged use of Topamax as an aid for migraine sufferers lead to permanent memory loss even after one stop using this medication ? I also use Imitrext 100mg plus fiorinol when and if I have migraines.

Memory loss with Topamax occurs frequently enought. Many patients get excellemnt anti migraine results from it. When one stops the medication, the memory loss side effect usually goes away. I hope this addresses your question.

Memory loss is not usually seen in most of the people. Is it really that significant in your case?
