My doctor put me on Topamax to help decrease my appitite, but I've heard nothing but bad things from people about this medication. Has anyone here had any good experiences with it? I'm starting out with 100 mg and increasing 100 mg a week until I get to 400 mg.
Hmn... I've recently started taking Topamax for migraines but I haven't experienced many bad side effects. I'd say the worst side effect for me is weight loss (I've always been underweight)...XD Um and soda tastes.... really funky. But other than that I feel rather normal. From what I've heard it really depends on the person and the dosage. Also that bad side effects may surface when you increase your dosage, but might go away. So to answer your question, I guess it's not a good experience yet since it's not entirely effective for preventing my migraines (gotta wait a while...<_<;; ) but at least it hasn't been a bad one.
hmm, i used to take topamax to sleep. i didnt know it could cause weight loss. i actually never noticed and loss of weight while on it, and im always looking for ways to lose weight. to be honest during the time i was on it i beleive i gained weight. but bad side effects? i would have to say no. but i will probably knock you for a loop while your body adjusts, it will make me sleep for days if im not disturbed. so be careful for driveing and such for a while .
Well I spoke too soon, Topamax stopped working. It's not preventing my migraines anymore....<_<;; Time to go see the doc again.
