Forum for fellow migraine sufferers

After much trial and error with meds for my migraines, my doctor prescribed me Topamax yesterday, and I started taking it last night at bedtime.

He put me on 25 mg with no schedule to increase the dosage. Everything I seem to be finding on this drug seems to indicate starting at 25 mg and slowly increasing up to 100 mg. Should I mention this to my doc? Has anyone here had luck with just a low dose of topamax without having to increase, or ever heard of anyone who has? If so, any side effects? I wouldn’t mind the weight loss!
