Started usting Topamax 1 1/2 week ago. 50 mg for a week and for the past 4 days on 100 mg. I am VERY edgy, want to cry and find fault with everything. I take it in addition to other Epilepsy medication.
Found to know what to say but can not get the words out! No ambition to complete tasks the past week. Very passive. I really do not care about the weight loss factor, I just want to feel better! I am driving my husband mad!

I started taking Topomax three weeks ago and have been feeling spacey, dopey and drowsy since. My sleep is interupted, my feet and legs are numb and tingely much of the time and I have a hrad time concentrating. My skin is very itchy, too. But, what disturbes me most are the postings about hair loss. My hair is thin and fine to begin with -- I can't stand to lose any hair. My doctor didn't warn me about this. Also, I've not lost any weight on the drug, although I did give up drinking sparkeling mineral water as the taste changed dramatically. I am about ready to ask to be taken off the drug, although I haven't had a single migraine since I started, and before I was getting 4 - 5 a week and they'd last 1 - 3 days (and some up to 8 days), so this is a big improvement.
