I've been on Topamax 3 weeks now, and I've read all you side effect comments and I agree with all soda taste terrible! I have not experienced any hair loss as of yet, very little tingling in my hands or feet, my biggest problem is aching legs, it's literally waking me up in the early morning hours and can last a couple of hours, has anyone experienced this? It has started since I've started 75 mg on my 3rd week. But my migranes are completely gone and my appetite has lessened which is another plus! Thanks for any feedback.

I have been taking Topamax for about a year and a half. I too have the aching in my legs. Most of the time now my feet hurt too. I still experience the tingling in my hands and feet on occasion. I haven't had much hair loss but I have noticed my hair has gradually lightened' over the last year. Don't know if this has anything to do with Topamax. When I first started it I almost quit taking it because it did really weird things to me. After giving it time to level out in my system alot of the side effects went away. But I was very emotional, depressed, major joint pain, and I even had vision problems with pain behind my eyes. Most of this has since gone away. I have not had the headaches for a long time. I am glad I gave it time.
