I've been on Topamax for about a month now for daily headaches/migraines with 50mg/day and will be moving up to 100mg/day in the next few weeks. So far I have noticed the tingly hands and the nausea but the worst is the dry lips and how every beverage tastes either flat or odd. The only thing that tastes good is water and I can't get enough of it because I am always thirsty. My urine has turned a bright yellow, which I noticed no one else has reported so I'm a little concerned about that. However the headaches and migraines due seem to be improving so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

maybe you need to drink more water because of the yellow urine!!
topomax causes kidney stones and your urine should be almost as clear as water to be healthy..

drink at least 2 liters of water a day
