> NO problems before Topamax. It's the front part of my tongue - it's mostly when I drink anything carbonated - it's as if I am drinking acid. It's the weirdest thing. The top front 1/3 of my tongue feels as if I have been licking harsh sand paper for hours. Isn't that weird? Am I a freak or what?I don't think what you are experiencing is weird. A lot of people have reported
weired tastes in their mouths from topamax. It didn't affect my taste but gave me
some numbness and pins-and-needles feeling in one hand.The vision thing could definately be topamax related, as others have
noted. There's a small chance that topamax can cause glaucoma. See your
doctor.Take Care,
John
