In reply to love my topamax, posted by ravenx on July 16, 2003, at 21:31:58
hi ravenx, please, could you tell me more? I started Topamax back in late May and my doctor is also pleased at how well I am doing with this med considering that all don't do that well. I have heard of a lot of people getting kidney stones, etc and having to stop it because of side effects such as this and such etc.... I'm on 200mg currently.
Do you take any other meds with the Topamax? Did you ever get a side effect of itching really bad in the beginning? How about headaches?
I would so appreciate hearing back. I'm still getting used to this med, but so far so good, but I woud love to hear about your experience, you sound really positive about it. I have lost about 25 Lbs, but my appetite is slowly coming back-that I dont like-I feel it may be time to increase. What is your opinion on that? My moods are definately better. If I feel them swinging-it doesn't last long. I still have no taste for sodas which is fine.
Please reply and thanks in advance,
Gal> I have been on topamax for 4 months now and am very pleased with the results.Not only have I lost 25 lbs. but I am bi polar and my moods are better controlled ..my talking has slowed down...i am paying my bills better..i just feel better in general..I take 200mgs. at nite and 100 in the a.m. ..my Dr. has been very pleased that I have tolerated this med so well..I was on depecote and wellbuttin before and gained alot of weight and was very down ...I wish this drug could help all of you this well.
