> > I would like any info I can get on topamax, I am a new user of it. I begin taking it next week. Anyone who can tell me about personal experinces, please answer this plea for help !!
> >Get ready for the world's driest mouth! Anyway, Terri, thats the way it affects me. Besides a dry mouth, 20 to 50% of users will loose weight. And when I first started using it, liquids had an awful taste. I love soft drinks and yet they all tasted sour to me, but thankfully that did go away in time and there were a few things I could drink without the bad taste. Topamax makes me loopy, slurs my speech, but it has helped me. Overall it is not a bad drug and most people get along well with it. Good luck, Terri.I am on a combination of Topamax, Wellbutrin, Zyprexia, and Neurontin and that combination has helped me tremendously with my manic depression. I have been on these medications now for about 6 or 7 months. The only side effects I have experiences are numbness in my feet.
