I've been on topamax for 3 1/2 months & was on 25 mg & then was pushed up to 100 mg when I started to have more severe migraines & "seizing" in my arms & legs. Here are a list of my symptoms: increased sleepiness, gait problems, word recall, more difficulty w/dysgraphia, increased ADD problems, increased lability, increased hypersensitivity to stimuli (seizing in limbs increased), pins & needles, metallic taste in mouth, asthma worsened, sleep became more disrupted, lost weight (already skinny), increased facial hair, strange menstrual symptoms, basilar migraines worsened, hemiplegic migraines started occuring at increased rate, suspicious that it may cause or excacerbate pre-existing sleep apnea (haven't been evaluated yet), feel like a stroke patient, weakness on right side of body, can't drink soda, increased impulsiveness, confusion, increased speech problems, increased GERD...this has really messed me up.
you really should be careful giving this to patients who may have a sleep disorder, previous head injury or breathing issues...Is this safe for people w/ asthma, sleep apnea, cerebral palsy, sleep disorders, etc.? Will these side affects wear off or is permanent?
I have nothing to thank Topamax for.

I was on the pill for 2 years & then stopped for a few months b/c was low on funds. Started taking it again seemed like I was doing fine for a few days then started to get extremely depressed to the point that I was worrying my family with how depressed I sounded, then the 2nd week on the pill started my period, figured hormones just hadn't been able to stop my normal period from happening but it is still going on a week and a half later, I am still depressed, I have severe seizing abdominal pains occasionally, and have stopped feeling full ever, and can't stop eating which could be linked to the depression. I used to love this pill but now think I need to get back off it & switch to another.
