I am a 24 Female that was prescribed 50 mg twice a day for my mood swings, migraines, and being overweight. I have been on topamax for two days now. My family physician prescribed this to me knowing that I am sensitive on medications at first. Well I had no idea that these particular side effects were from this drug until I found this website. I have had 24/7 nausea for 2 days straight, throwing up, BAD tingling in my legs (needle sensations), irritability, inability to concentrate or spell. It's terrible because my job AND FUTURE require me to concentrate, SPELL, and REMEMBER which are three things that I have completely lost while being on topamax. I cannot even type. The greatest impairment I have is what I call ZONING OUT which is - I will being doing something such as watching a tv show or reading an article and I must have dozed off in my brain for a few minutes and then came back. It literally feels as if I left my body for several minutes and then came back! It's a very strange feeling! I would only recommend this medication for someone that has tried EVERY OTHER HEADACHE medication!
