I have a long standing migraine problem. Recently I was prescribed Topamac and Rivotril (.5) by a neurologist and Divaa and Pexep by a general medicine specialist. Are these medicines safe, as they show a great deal of side-effects. I do not want to get addicted to them. Is there any alternative medicine?

Alternative medicine is changing your lifestyle and dietary habits. As you have rightly said these medicines will cause serious side effects and create new diseases you should have questioned your drs who you have visited. They are treating the symptoms and not the root cause. The cause is usually elsewhere. It is mostly in the gut. You have to find the trigger for migraine which varies from person to person you have to decide which medications you need to take .Discuss with both of your drs ask them about short term and long term side effects etc. You might be having certain nutrient deficiency also Take a consult after providing a feedback with name and contact number remember get educated and not medicated you cannot fix your health without fixing your diet.
