Hi I've been on topamax for 4 years . Had all the side effects...weight loss,tingling in hands and feet,no memory and speech problems! I was taking 600mgs a day! I take it for epilepsy! I was on the highest dose. my doc then weened me from top. to zonegran 600mgs. It's very similar to topamax. For me it is not helping me as much as the topamax. I think it's a great drug!!!! I did not loose hair, no constipation, no rapid heartbeat for me! I am going back on it . Yes sometimes I would get in a hostel mood and can't spell shit , but for me it's all GOOD !

Did you ever get over your concentration problems? I've been on Topamax for 4 years, 300mg for Bipolar disorder. I only started having the tingling, have had the speech problems for a year, and concentration and attention problems for a little over a year that seems to be getting worse.
