You're on multiple preventatives. Brain fog, hair loss, exhausted all the time. You feel "stable" but not good. You tell your neurologist you want to come off one.
They say: "Cut it in half for a week, quarter it for another week, stop in two weeks."
You follow their advice. Two weeks later? Massive migraine flare that lasts five days. You're back in their office. They shrug: "Well, what did you expect? I guess you need the medication."
So you think: I guess I'm stuck on this forever.
Here's the truth: Nobody has a Topamax deficiency. You weren't born needing it.
Dr. Leslie has walked hundreds of clients through weaning off Topamax, propranolol, gabapentin, nortriptyline, even antipsychotics and anti-seizure meds.
If you try to come off preventatives while still getting 10 migraines a month, it won't go well, even with a slow wean.
Dr. Leslie breaks down the two critical factors for successfully coming off preventatives: timing (your health must be restored first so migraine frequency drops significantly) and the correct wean-off approach (not your neurologist's rushed 2-week plan).
Watch the full episode to learn exactly how to set yourself up for success.
