Wow! I miss anything that was carbonated, especially drinking diet soda! Everything tastes flat and has an aftertaste. It’s not worth drinking, even though I use to get my caffeine rush with a diet soda (or 2) in the morning. I've been on Topomax for 2 months and this hasn't gone away. This is the only (outdated) post that I have ever seen on this side effect. I also get the tingling feet and the upset stomach. I can handle those.
> I've read some of the comments re Topomax causing a 'funny' taste. Does it go away? I've been on it for 3 weeks now and have not had a Pepsi since I started it. Which is good, as I was a soda-a-day drinker. Hoping it will stop my smoking too!! It's really made me cut down. But the affect it has had on my taste buds! EVERYTHING tastes odd. I'm just having such a difficult time finding anything tasty. Any relief in sight?
