Topamax and neurontin

I have been on Topamax for 4 months and so far the migraines I have suffered for 40 years are gone. Great Some side effects like can't stand carbonated drinks. Reaction time is a little slower. I stress out a little more then I used to. I get really tired at the end of the day. I used to be a night owl but now love my sleep. Question to you all. Any one had problems with their teeth? Such as pain, fillings falling out? Let me know.

2 yrs ago I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. I have been on Topamax since, because of the severe pain it causes. I have never experienced weight loss and I was on up to 400mg a night. I am now on 200mg a night. My tastes are fine and my drinking sodas were never like metal. But for the fatigue of the disease I also take Provigil in the morning. I have noticed my eyes have changed. Never gave it a thought to be Topamax. Plus I just got new glasses again 3 months ago and am seeing a change in my sight again. Also there is a noise in my ears,not ringing,but sounds like crickets. Never had that before. I was on 2 other meds but I took myself off of them because I really don't like taking so many. The others had worse side effects. Until they find a cure for this disease it looks like I'm stuck with Topamax. This is one pain I will not and can not live with.

I have been taking 25 mg Topamax, 4 doses per day, for 5 months now. I am taking it for nerve damage in my ankle. I have previously taken Neurontin had to discontinue because weight gain.

I have lost 10 lbs and have trouble sleeping at night. I also have short sttention span.

I just started taking this two days ago. Unlike many of you I am taking this for nerve damage in my leg instead of migraines. I have previously taken Neurontin and Lyrica and had to discontinue because I am apparently very sensitive to this kind of medication. I am only taking FIFTEEN mg (the pharmacy had to special order it for me) and only right before I go to bed, but I am OUT of it. I am very, very tired, nauseous, and just not all there. I have no attention span whatsoever (it just took me like, thirty seconds to think of the phrase 'attention span'). I just called the pharmacy to ask them if these side effects last, or disappear as your body gets used to the meds. They told me to give it a couple of weeks if I can. I'd like to give it a chance- but I'm supposed to increase to three times a day, and I don't think THAT'S gonna happen anytime soon.

On 200mg twice a day morning and evening about a year now for neuropothy(sorry about spelling). Hands and feet. Used neurontin for about 8 years and put on weight. topomax initially took off about 30 lbs. I weight 300 male. Anything carbonated tastes bad, beer soda etc. I prefer water, lemonade, tea, coffee. Now neurontin's patent is about to run out and the makers have come up withtheir subsitute which is Lyrica. Your dr will be suggesting you try this one. It works basically the same as neurontin, maybe just more potent so you take less and they have a new patent. Probably add the lbs too. It affects my sex life in that cannot seem toget to an orgasam as easily so I avoid it. Many drugs for my condition have this affect since they affect seratonin in the brain and thus have a bad affect on sex life of men who still want to be sexually active. Sorry to be so frank. Actually, the topomax does not help all that much with the pain I experience but I do not want to be too quick to switch drugs. Lyrica is still not available through insurance companies in this country although I here they are working on it.

weird dreams only on 50-75mg--increasing 25mg a weak and wheaning off neurontin. taking effexor how long does topamax take to fully kick in ?
