Noticed that many symptoms and conditions

Does anyone here have positive side effects on topomax??? All I have read are negative ones!

As for me it's been a blessing. I have noticed some side effects annoying, but not to the extent that I don't want to quit it.

If you are experiencing side effects to the point that you want to kill yourself, first of all call your doctor IMMEDIATELY! Check with your doctor to see if other medications you're taking could be causing your feelings.
I've noticed that many of you who are feeling suicidal are also taking Effexor or something else that could be interacting with Topomax. Check into it, and don't stop EVERYTHING at once!!! Doing THAT just might kill you!

Always wean off the drugs with the help of your doctor. If you don't agree with your doctor then go to another one or at least go to the ER and they will help you. Don't take matters into your own hands. Doing it yourself puts your life in risk.

If you think you are suicidal then remember you are not thinking objectively. YOU NEED HELP. If you make a foolish decision you will not only destroy your life, but the lives of many people who love you. GET HELP NOW. Please.

I sent a note earlier today but continued to read some of the e-mails you have received and noticed that many were the same symptoms I have experienced and blamed it onto age since I am almost 70. Now I realize that it is probably the Lipitor that is causing my leg cramps, loss of hair. short memory, trouble getting out of chairs or off my knees when I work in the yard. I also experience less energy. I have trouble climbing the stairs before my legs begin to ach. I am changing doctors this week since my current doctor doesn't seem to listen when I tell him my symptoms. I have also gained a lot of weight and feel bloated. I have always been a fairly slim person until I started taking Lipitor and Toprol about 4 years ago.
Any suggestions? Should I stop taking the meds. My cholestrol has come way down. In fact the doctor said it was better than his.
