I was on Topamax for 3 months to try to loose weight. I had severe anger on the drug and suicial instincts. I blacked out often and was very forgetful. I would have a hard time remembering things. One day I couldn't remember where my children had been. It was very scary. I ended up gaining weight on the drug. It all came to an end for me when I called my husband at work and told him that I was going to kill myself and I had no recolection of the converstation when he rushed home to help me.

In August I started taking Topamax and every week i am to up the dosage now I am taking 50mg in the morning and and 50 mg at night because my headaches was so bad that I had to quit my job because I couldn't serve food and vomit at the same time. Now that my headaches have gone from everyday to about every other day I have noticed the indigestion. Because I had because sick so long the doctor suggested I had a reflux and it would correct itself.I started looking at all the medication I was on and the list from the pharmacy never indicated indigestion on as a side effect for Topamax.My appetite is non.Weight lost about 20 lbs but I could afford that and then some. I try not to use the upstairs of my home if no one is there because of the dizziness.And simple chores around the house go undone.I have bounce $130 in bank fees this month and can't figure out how and gave the finances over to my husband to keep up with and I am a math major in college this semester.This is how bad things have gotten some simple words i can't recall how to spell . I have to use the dictionary. It's bad.
