In reply to topamax and fatigue, posted by essstie on June 30, 2003, at 9:09:36
I started taking Topamax about 2 months ago and yes I have been very fatigued and today is one of those days. I just want to sleep. I had a binge eating episode last night compared to what I have been eating since starting the Topamax-close to nothing I've lost about 20-25. For me, the fatigue has worn off a little as I have been on the med though. I take 200mg a day now and some days are good and some days, I'm more exhausted. This weekend I was out and busy, in fact for the last few days, I slept less, but today I see it as a sleepy day. I hope it gets better for you, if that's what you need, I know it's not quite that fun being exhausted all the time. In my case, it has helped me calm way down.
Hope this helped.> Started taking topamax to help with binge eating. Began with 25 mg per day and now up to 25 mg twice daily. Think it does help with bing cravings, but I am utterly exhausted - been sleeping 16 hours or more per day. Has anyone experienced anything similar, and if so, will it wear off as I get used to medication? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
