I have been on 100 mg topamax for a few months now, and i was act...

my sister in law is also on this medication with the same symptoms of the numbness. her dr lowered her dose and she has been fine ever since...Angel

Get off of this drug now!! I've had all that and more for symptoms. I feel like an elderly person who is slowly losing her memory, her intellect and worse, my hair is still coming out and i've been off of it for six weeks after being on it for 5 years at 100mg a day. I don't know what else there is to take. I'm debating with my neuro right now because he wants to put me a medication to lower blood pressure for my migraines which have come back with a vengence. I already tend to have low blood pressure so hence the debate. I just wish someone, anyone could tell me if I will ever get my memory back or remember how to spell again and not have anymore muscle spasms. It was getting so bad my lips, cheek and eyes would spasm in the last three to four months on it. I still have the spasms although not as much as i did before but still... is anyone permanetly damaged by this drug? If so... why cant we sue the drug company that make this monstosity. Sorry for the spelling. I use to spell long hard words and now.... good luck with little words. Oh and I couldn't figure out why I began to have high anxiety problems for the past three years but after reading the posts I now see why my anxiety has decreased. If I had known all the side effects to look for I would have stopped taking this drug a long time ago. Something needs to be done about this drug!
