Okay, I'm 15 and I take 200 mg per day of Topamax for Bipolar. I had read to page 3 and hadn't seen anyone taking it for that, or admitting it. I'm also diabetic and I take Metformin (Glucophage-fage?) for that, and I take Naltrexone for cutting addiction, and I take Geodon for Bipolar, I guess. I also take Lunesta to sleep. I take the Topamax in the morning with Metformin and Geodon when I get up around 6:30. When I wake up, just about every morning, I feel soo nauseous until I have something in my stomach. If I feel too sick, I can't eat, and my mouth starts to water and I just have to sit by the stool and pray something comes up so its over. I don't know if Topamax causes this though, but its horrible. So after I take my meds, I get to school and I usually eat breakfast, sometimes even if I have eaten at my house before school. So I don't really see much on the weight loss side of things, which is another reason I was put on it, because Depakote made me gain 80 lbs. When I get to first hour, which used to be P.E, and is now English, I am usually not prepared. I still don't have last week's assignment done. 2nd hour P.E. I never used to participate in, and now I am, that might be because of the class change, but I'm not for sure. I didn't get the make up work for Health done though, even though I got an A+ on the Test we had today. I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but I am in the gifted program in my school, so I am very capable. Just so you know. Keep that in mind while reading this. 3rd hour Algebra. I usually sleep. If I'm awake, I have to concentrate extra hard, because the number and letters just don't make sense, and not because its Algebra. Today in math was a special scene because I said something wrong about a problem, it was like, 74 - 66 and we had to find the middle poin And do something so it was 70 + 4 and 70 - 4 and I thought the 4's were 6's so I said so. And he agreed and then he realized I was wrong and made a big deal about it. And all the guys started laughing and all I was thinking was not to let them see me cry. So I held it in until my throat was on fire. But I still cried a little bit. 4th hour. If I'm not asleep, I'm refusing to do work in Science class. Like today, I got sent to the office for not having the supplies to work on the project. 5th hour. I don't usually sleep. This is a class like Home Ec. 6th hour Art. I'm usually really defiant, refusing to do work, complaining about the assignment. I hold a steady C in that class. 7th hour Spanish. I never sleep in here, and I have a 95% A in here. I like this class. When I get home, I am on the computer for all hours of the evening. Until its time for bed. But when I go to bed, I end up laying there for like, an hour or two, even though I have taken the Lunesta. You know, I think I just rambled on about nothing. I think there are very little useful facts about Topamax side effects in here. Oh well. So, to sum it up. When I'm at the CPU, my legs fall asleep. When I get up from the chair, I'm all achy and sore. In the morning, I'm nauseous. I sleep all day at school. I have no motivation. I get to feeling like a want to drop out at least once a week. I want to cut at least once a week. Although its been more than a month, thank you. I procrastinate like everything. I don't do homework. I spend all my time on the computer. I don't have many friends, because they don't like the way I act/seem. talk to ******
