Hi Claudette,
It's great you got all those pills!
Regarding Sansert and Topamax, it's all so ironic to me. Sansert is the only preventative that has worked for me in the past, but my new neuro felt that it was less safe than Topamax. When it comes to neuro's opinions, I guess it's 6 one way, half dozen another.
The only side effect I recall having to be careful of was leg cramps. If my memory serves me (which it probably won't do), I think that sansert is a vasoconstrictor and, if you get too much, it can cause problems with circulation. BUT, I shouldn't even be writing this because it was so long ago, I can't be sure this info. is accurate. Be sure to read your package insert. Maybe you can educate all of us.
Best wishes,
Michelle C.
