I have been happy with the pills because they have taken away my migraines! I began on Topamax this May 2007 at 100mg per day until this Aug when I starting to have migraines again and my doc increase my dosage to 150mg a day.However, I think the increase in dosage has caused me to have nose bleeds. I was awakened by nose bleeding on two nights this past week. I see my doctor tomorrow to see if there might be another reason for the nose bleeds. The sleepiness was only a problem in the beginning, until I got use to the pills. The weight loss side effect is one I could use. However I have only lost 1 pound since I have started taking Topamax. Tingling in toes and heels, thirsty, taste change, upset stomach (must take a anti-acid with pill). No hair loss that I have notice. I am a bit depressed and right now don't want to have much to do with hubby. But he has gotten us into some serious trouble with the IRS. Which would cause depression, weight loss, anger, & loss of sex drive all of the things mentioned as Topamax side effects. I'll wait to see if any of these things increase before I stop the Topamax. Good luck to all!

Our 8 month old daughter had a serious (chronic) case of
bronchitis. .083% dosage 4 times a day of Albuterol. Her
eyes rolled back into her head. We broke up the dosage with
same effect. I tried it and found that dizzyness and tingling in
toes lasted a half hour with no reduction in mucus in my lungs. We would not recommend this drug for "any" small
children. Dangerous.

Been on 200mg. tpamax about 6 weeks. Problem swelling of the legs and tingling in toes they sometimes turn blue. Is this a side affect of topamax or something else. Doctors have no clue what the problem is any suggestions on what to do.

I have been on 20mg of Zocor for 18 months and have had a steady downhill spiral with reflux disease, depression, numbness, stiffness and tingling in toes, muscle cramps and shooting pains and trouble sleeping. After much research, I am begining to suspect the Zocor although my doctors don't want to hear it.

I have been on Tegretol since 2/22/03. Started with 3 doses a day, and then March 12 went to 4 doses a day. I have no appetite. Have recently lost 80 lbs. and since I have been on have gained 5 lbs. Also, notice that I am just letting out the water I take in. Today, feel a numbness in my mouth, and tingling in toes. I would like to just go off it. Don't know what to do.

i am getting back on topamax for the second time....the first time i lost a tremendous amount of weight. i am on it for migraines...working my way up to 200mg from 50mg. I am experiencing that memory lapse (having something i want to say on the tip of the tongue) all soda taste flat. Nausea and menstrual cycle is changing up. Been on meds 6 days so far lost 2-3 pounds. I have seen a lot of people say they have not lost weight the second time around. Is there anyone who has? I have definitely seen a change in my appetite at week one. I had the tingling in toes and feet the first time around but nothing yet. first time around it lifted my mood and I had tons of energy. It helped with my migraines that i had everyday for a year. Lost my insurance when I lost my job so now I have been able to start up again.
