Topamax makes things taste yucky!! things like soda, beer, etc. And I've typed a whole report before or listed something on ebay and only looked back later and called myself a STUPIDAS# because of all the misspelled words- should of used spell check- which if you take Topamax make sure your spellcheck is on! Don't know why but the med will slurr your speech and brain. I do still get the occasional migraines while taking it so I'll stop it, plus tired of the spelling probs I have while on it. But my doc says I should be persistent with it, just like everything else out there... there's always a price to pay! Other than that, no side effects like stomach pain or weight loss like I've heard in others. Oh but it will make you tired..especially at first..very tired!

Well, I've had the hair loss, the weight loss and the memory loss - haha! I can't spell anything, I stutter and my short-term memory is gone. I live in a bubble that consists of this-moment-in-time. I've been on 200mg of Topamax 9 mos. However, it did take away the absolutely debilitating pain so i guess it's a 50/50 depending on your circumstances and your threshold...can you afford to live with the debilitating pain or the debilitating side-effects?
