Topamax and loss hair

I've been on Topamax for 3 years for migraine and it works most of the time. I am currently having a hard time with the usual side effects of memory loss, hair loss, word recall problems, coldness, depression, no sex drive, and am developing a cough. BUT I had a side effect that has not been mentioned when I first started taking it (25 mg in am and pm -- I'm now on 50mg in am and pm).
For about 2 weeks, I would get in my car to go to work and miss my turns because they would cognitively come up too soon (this is after 15 years of going to work the same way everyday). I had to be extremely conscious of my surroundings when I drove or I'd miss all my normal turns. I got lost in my own neighborhood once going home. At work, I'd get up from my desk to go to a co-worker's desk and arrive there amazing fast to my mind. I was experiencing time/space/distance distortion. It became fascinating to me, but it passed.

I'm a 26 year old female and I've been on Topamax since March 2007. It has completely gotten rid of the debilitating headaches I experienced 3-6 times a week. It also got rid of my anxiety. I got my life back, my antidepressant kicked in at the same time. I experienced all the usual side-effects, tingling hands and feet, forgetting words, memory problems, loss of appetite, but was COMPLETELY pain-free. I still am. However, I never remember anything now, forget whether or not I did something, paid my bills, etc, lose things constantly, and I have lost about 20 lbs. Not good. I look anorexic. I have bones sticking out. Eating is hard. I forget to eat and drink all day and food is just unappealing. I feel fuzzy and stupid and slow. Not sharp like I used to be. It has killed my confidence and self-esteem. But I was wondering if any women out there got yeast infections while they were on Topamax. I've had one monthly since I started it, and my doc said it's a rare side effect. Oh yeah, I've had mild hair loss and mild to moderate acne now. This drug, it is such a 50-50. Living with chronic pain, those headaches were awful. But doubting yourself is awful too. Anyone have similar experiences?

I HAVE PERMANENT SENSORY PRECEPTIN LOSS IN MY MOUTH, MY DR NOW WAS IN ON TESTS AT BEGINNING AND HE SAYS IT IS A SIDE EFFECT OF TOPAMAX, I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SIDE EFFECT AND IS AFRAID TO TELL ANYONE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL THINK THEY ARE CRAZY, MY DR THAT I HAD EARLIER WHEN THE SIDE EFFECTS OCCURED DID THINK I WAS CRAZY AND GAVE ME DRUGS TO MASK THE PROBLEM AND THEY MAKE ME FEEL CRAZY. I ALSO HAD ALL THE TYPICAL SIDE EFFECTS, WT. LOSS, HAIR LOSS, ETC.
