I was put on Topomax for migraines. I've worked myself up to 125 mg in about a week and a half. (Probably a bit too fast, but the migraines were killing me.)
I went on a trip the same day I started Topomax. I was convinced the entire city made disgusting Diet Coke. Then I got home. Needless to say, it was the Topomax.
Tingling in palms of hands.
Mild, constant nausea. Nausea worse after eating oily food. "Clean" foods such as water, mildly sweet ice pops, blueberries, celery, etc., taste wonderful. I think this propensity for not wanting to eat fatty foods is making my stools just a bit harder than they should be, which causes a bit of tummy pain and gas.
Also, I got my period two weeks early. which is just unheard of for me. That might have been a side effect of going off the beta blockers. (My last preventive migraine treatment.) Just noting it in case someone else has had a similar experience.
As for the migraines, it's a bit early to tell. They were awful when I was on the 25-50 mg dose, but I guess that was to be expected.
Good luck, everyone. Btw, what do you do for the nausea? Phenergan?

I am taking zocor and prinival. My cholesteral number, bad
has dropped to 75. I have recently noticed my taste
sensations have radically changed such that coke/pepsi have
become tasteing like acid, tea tastes horrible, oily food
all tastes the same ... bad
A friend who is also on similar medications reports surprisingly same symptoms. CAN IT BE THE ZOCOR?

I am having a bloated tummy with plenty of gas, though I rarely consume heavy and oily food. I don't touch potatoes. As a result I am having chest pain and pain radiating down my shoulders and elbows. To top it all I am just 19
