Hello, everyone. I didn't know there was a page like this, but I...

I would probably say the headaches. I have been on Topamax for two days. I feel like I haven't slept in a week. I have been prescribed it for seizures. I am currently transitioning from Trileptol to Topamax. Since I am on two medications it is hard for me honestly comment on the Topamax. I can say that coke taste terrible now! I will comment again in a few weeks if I continue to take the Topamax. I have read so many horror stories that it kind of scares me to continue to take it.

I don't know if this is related but I have been on Topomax for 3 months and suddenly my mouth is raw. The skin is all broken around my lips, inside my mouth and I suddenly have really bad asthma! I was thinking it's eating away my tissues or something??? Very weird. I know my doctor is going to think I'm nuts and just say "no you just have asthma." But I'm 47 years old, why would I suddenly have severe asthma? I have restless leg syndrome but Topomax makes it 5 times worse. The good thing is weight loss! Hooray! I've lost ten pounds. I don't want to go off Topomax because I take it for migraines. I was needing my Maxalt (migraine medicine) literally every other day but they would only allow nine pills a month, not enough for every other day. It controls my migraines pretty well. What to do, what to do....
