I started taking Topamax 2 days ago and I have already noticed side effects..such as the flat soda...numbness in my arms and face at night...BUT the worst part are the morbid thoughts at night ( I take only 25 mg at night) I have the most bizarre dreams and I wake up feeling like I havent slept for days. I am taking it due to severe migraines which result in seizures. I am horrified after reading some of the posts here. I am wondering if anyone started out with any of these side effects and then as their body became accustomed to the medication did they pass?

I just started Topomax i week ago and the side effects are awful. My kidneys are killing I have drank a gallon of Cran. juice this morning and am no better I have a history of k. stones and really hope I never have to go throught that again. My feet feel like they are being tatooed and my hands keep going numb. The soda thing explains a lot I just thought i bought a bad case lol. I have been put on the med because no doc knows whats wrong with me Iwas hospitalized in Boston a year ago with what they thought was encephalitis I think it's MS but what do I know? I'm scared I'm a mom of 4 boys and I have such bad pressure in my head all the time the med is helping that but the side effects are brutal.
