Motorcycle symptoms and conditions

I have been on topomax for nearly a year and have many of the same problems you guys have but a new one has popped up on me that scared the shit outta me and no one can seem to figure out what is causing it.
During sex just before orgasm my brain felt like it was going to explode!!
All I could do was hold my head in my hands and roll on the bed. this pain lasted for almost 8 hours. the next day i felt fine and went motorcycle riding and while racing my buddy and while passing him(More Excitement) It hit again and it was all I could do to stay on the bike. Went to the hospital and they did cat scans mri ,mra tests and have found nothing wrong w/my head .So my ? is could this be coming from my topomax??

My husband was hospitalized at Fl Hospital April 11 – 16, 2008. He had severe stomach pain to the point he became suicidal. We asked for a psychiatrist in the hospital. The doctor prescribed Mirtazapine along with Lexipro. After 6 days of being on this medicine and 2 days after he was released from the hospital he committed suicide by shooting himself with a 357 Magnum in the head. His 18 year old son found him in the bathroom almost dead. He never exhibited signs of suicide or depression in the past 26 years we were married. This medication can give you serious adverse reactions. Please do not take it! I will do everything I can to get it off the market! Two weeks before my husband was hospitalized he was racing his motorcycle at Jennings raceway with his son. This medication will alter your mind and impair your judgment! My husband passed away on April 19, 2008

I turn 60 this year and have been riding motorcycles all my life, but after being on Lipitor for the last two years, I haven't had the upper body strength to lift my motorcycle off of its side stand.I have had trouble sleeping, keep tossing and turning due to discomfort in my lower back and right hip. The pain is almost debilitating when trying to get out of bed or rise from a sitting position. I go to a real good Chiropractor once a month for the back and hip pain, but he says it may be the statin's that is doing the damage, because he can't find anything wrong except for the normal adjustment . I also just found out that I was born with only one kidney and the waste from the deterioration of my muscle mass is affecting the proper operation of the one kidney Some of my friends and my wife say the my speech has become a little slurred It seems that no matter how much I exercise, my upper body strength and back pain does not get any better, they seem to be getting worse. I tried a little experiment and stopped taking the Lipitor for a couple of weeks and the problems seemed to get a little better. I told my doctor this and they said that I NEEDED the Lipitor, so they cut the dose from 20mg. to 10mg. Now the pain has returned, so that tells me that these Statin drugs are not good for me - - - they might be good for other people, but if you are taking a statin, you should do a lot of research on them. The side effects they say MIGHT happen is only the beginning. For me - - -the cost is not worth it - - -in more ways than one.

I have been on Topamax for approximately six weeks - 100 miligrams for migraine. I have to say that so far my side effects have been minimal and my results have been quite good. I am experiencing some parasthesia in my hands and feet - but it is transitory and mildly annoying at worst. I have found that a lot of foods don't taste very good - and I really only like highly flavorful things like fruits and vegetables. I don't enjoy anything fatty, starchy or sugary. I'd like to be able to complain about that - but let's get real - that's probably a good thing. I've lost about 20 pounds since I started on the Topamax, 20 pounds that I can easily afford to lose. I also find that I am quite thirsty. I was experiencing some tiredness, but by switching to dosing only at bedtime, I have minimized that side-effect. My appetite has diminshed a great deal. I am not noticing cognitive side effects. I have had two migraines since I started on the Topamax (I was having approxmitately 15-20 days a month of severe migraines before), but I was able to take 1/2 dose of Relpax, and the migraine was gone within a half an hour. Typically I woiuld have to take a whole dose, repeat the dose in 2 hours and still have a headache, and repeat for 3-5 days, so I am seeing a big difference in the incidence of my headaches. All-in-all I am feeling quite hopeful that the Topamax, for me, will be an excellent overall solution for something that has been quite debilitating.
