Hey there! I haven't checked in for a few months, but everything has been going so well that I haven't had time! I thought that I would let you all know that I have now been on Topamax (100mg) for almost 1 year, and the side effects have leveled off almost competely. I lost 60 pounds in total, but the weight loss seems to have minimialized...I still lose a little each month, but I do have to work at it now like the rest of the general public! The hyper feeling has gone away, and I am able to sleep better too. The short term memory loss is getting better (I do have my moments!) but I practice my "words" by doing crossword puzzles! I can even enjoy a glass of wine now and then! I hope this helps everyone just starting out with Topamax...I really had a tough go for the first few months and almost gave it up, even though it was working on the migraines! I just had one question for anyone...I am experiencing a strange "post nasal drip" that I am hoping is not caused by an allergic reaction to the Topamax (it started a couple of months after I started the Topamax). Does anyone else have this side effect too?
