I just started taking Topamax due to having headaches everyday. I have been experiencing tingling, zoning out, confusion and body odor. I noticed some of these on others posts, but am I the only one that is having a body odor problem?? Not only that but I am itching under my arms to the point that I am almost scratching them raw! Its terrible! I am not sweating, so I thought maybe that is why I am itching so bad, but I don't understand the body odor part!! I have never had a problem with this before! I really never even HAD to wear deodorant, I do, but I didn't have to... & yes, I do bathe everyday! =-]

I've started having a body odor problem since starting topamax, and just recently started having bad breath as well. Just like you, I bathe daily, and never really needed to wear deodorant most days....now I can't wear enough. Have you found anything that helps? So far I have tried the following (and none help):shaving religiously (slacked off before due to itching and the itching has gotten even worse now), baby powder, anti-bacterial soap, exfoliating soap, body spray, extra deodorant.
