I just started Topamax for Bi Polar. I replaced the Seroquel I was on with it. I have been having some really bad headaches before I went on it, and I am still having them. I have lost 6 pounds in a week. Can someone tell me from their experience does the headaches seem to go away with more dosage. I was on 50mg of Seroquel and with the Topamax I am only on 25mg right now.

I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I was placed on this medicine for migraines. It is poison. After 7 months my body completely changed. I started having panic attacks and anxiety. I couldn't sleep. My neurologist started playing around with my dosage and I finally went to my regular doctor who said I needed to get off of it immediately, It has been a long three months since I have been off the med and my doc said it could take up to a year to feel 100% better. Please rethink this med. The makers of Topamax have suspended further testing and they were trying to get the FDA to approve it for weightloss, but that has stopped as well. I hope this helps. If I can just stop one person from going through what I did then I will post this anywhere I can. I have never been on any meds before for anything. I hope I will get back to the person I once knew.
