What is a good migraine medication that is comparable to Topamax, without the side effects?

Kidney Stones Prevention
I had been taking Topamax for migraines. I was on 400mg a day and it helped really well, but recently found I have a kidney stone due to using Topamax so I am trying to find a different med. I can take for it. For those of you that don’t know, Topamax is used to prevent migraines, not to help with the pain. If anyone has personal experience I would prefer your answer. I don’t want answers like imitrex, maxalt, zomig, as these are to treat the pain after you have gotten a migraine. I want an answer for a med to prevent the migraines. Thanks in advance.

most likely, if its comparable to topamax, it will have the same side effects

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or

eyestrain, lack of coffee or moreserious reasons like
head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis andmeningitis.
Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information
