A few years ago, I suffered a severe headache that lasted 7 weeks. A neurologist placed me on Topamaxx, and within two days the headache was gone. Sadly, so was the part of my brain that had any language skills. Anomia, aphasia, and a few other disabilities like the inability to recognize faces set in. For a writer and a teacher, it was devastating. It's taken me 5 years, and not all my skills have returned. Scary!
