Question: Concerned about using Topamax...pressure in one eye elevated two years ago...

Answer:

Dear Pat,

I understand your anxiety about the intraocular pressure. Is there a family history of glaucoma? I typically don't use 2 words in my practice: "fix" and "cure". Just my preference. Perhaps a different approach to prophylaxis might do better for you; I'd suggest seeking out a local headache specialist in your area.

Good luck,
John Claude Krusz
