Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Topiramate has been approved for adults in the prevention (but not treatment) of migraine headaches. Zonisamide, valproic acid, and tiagabine do not affect migraine headaches.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nausea, vomiting, and indigestion are common during initiation of therapy. Taking the medicine with food or milk reduces the nausea and indigestion. Sedation, drowsiness, and dizziness tend to disappear with continued therapy. Gradual increases in dosage tend to decrease nausea and vomiting.
