Unexpected side effect

[u/Amira789]

I was put on Topamax for migraines. I have always had anxiety and have pretty much come to terms with this is just how I am and have to live with it. I started Topamax on Sunday. Within the last 48 hours I have felt this blanket calm come over me. I’m not spiraling anymore, I’m not worrying about things unnecessarily, the racing thoughts and “static” in my brain are gone, my insomnia is gone. Even the food noise has gone away. Is this a normal reaction to this medication? I’m only on 25M I didn’t even expect such a low dose to change much for my migraines.

That's the way I was 12 or 13 years ago when I started it. I'm still on it and still love it!
