Memory effect symptoms and conditions

I am 43 , I have been taking TOPAMAX for 3 yrs for migraines 50mg for 1 1/2yrs and then increased to 100mg. It helped for the first 2yrs but, not now... The side effect have took over my life!! All the routine S/E I have heard you all talk about plus, eye pain and more headaches!! Not migraines but, bad headaches! I thought I was having sinus pain...BUT, it never stopped and was daily for a yr. I could barely work! I am a R.N. and I have researched this drug and, talked to many different doctors...unless, it is for seizures I would NOT take it again!! If it seems to help your migraines, be sure you understand there is a trade off!...and it is NOT good in the long run! I felt like I was going crazy..and started feeling so "old"?
I went cold turkey 4 days ago...eye pain/daily headaches GONE!! I do have a nervous feeling, and do not feel hungry and ...I am sure withdrawal s/s.
I hope the "stupid" feeling will go away soon...feeling more energy already :)
I use to love this med...now I hope I do not have any long term memory effect ect... sorry if I misspelled any words ....the TOPAMAX you know!!LOL!!
Good Luck to you all!

Where do I begin??? I have been taking Yaz for six months. Migraines! The worst migraines ever, I cannot function for one full day and sometimes more, the pain was so intolerable.

Hives! For the past two months, I keep thinking that I had a food allergy; even my doctor diagnosed it as that. After going to the allergist, I was told that I have developed an allergy to the Yasmin pill. No part of my body has been discriminated with this medication. Hives from the top of my head, in my eyes, right down to the bottom of my feet! This has been the worst experience of my life with this pill.

Fatigue to the extreme! I fall asleep sitting up and never feel rested. Yaz has caused me to go up two cup sizes so far, I went from being a 38C to a 40DD and I can't fit into anything. My boobs are sore a lot.
