> Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering
how other people were doing on the combination.
How long have you been on the medication and
have you experienced any side effects?
Specifically side effects associated with
memory loss? If so did they subside with time?
I've been on the Topamax a few months...it has affected me
cognitively to some degree...can't think as sharply, etc., but
it has subsided some with time. Side effects--well, it seems to make
my lips numb, and my finger tips tingly and numb too. I also have sexual
side effects with it. Things don't taste as good on it. At higher doses it
seemed to depress me, so I lowered it, and raised my antidepressant dose and
that seemed to help. I like the lexapro a lot and hardly have any side effects
at all from it.
