I just started Spiro 50mg on Monday night. I have been getting horrible headaches. I dunno if it is related to the flu bug going around of the Spiro I have been drinking tons of water to make sure I'm hydrated and that doesnt seem to be helping. I already normally suffer from horrible migraines but it is very controlled I take Topamax every day so I almost never get them. Anyone else getting headaches like this on Spiro?? I feel like my head is gonna split in half the past few days..

Have you told your doc you were taking Topamax? Topamax lowers blood pressure. Spiro also lowers blood pressure. Possible that the combination is lowering your blood pressure too much.

Hi Green Gables, Yea I did it was on my list of current medications how ever we didnt discuss it in detail. I am headed to my Gyno on Mon for my annual. He is not my prescribing Dr but I may ask him as well. I'm am going to stop taking it I think for now. I have the worst migraine ever yesterday not even Imitrex fixed it I've been on Vicodin for the pain for 2 days now its the only thing that has helped and I really don't like pain meds. It has been storming a lot here (I get migraines from pressure) but I feel maybe more medicine related since I havent even had a migraine in so long esp this bad, its a shame I was really wanting to give this Spiro a shot. May be on to Accutane next. I hope I don't get the headaches from that too :( Thanks for the reply. I will def discuss in more detail the Topamax w my doc!
