Topamax and orgasm

I've been on topamax at 400mg 2x a day for about 8 years now. It is a great drug but it has HORRIBLE side effects! It ( along with lamictal) gives me WONDERFUL seizure control. And it is safe for pregnancy. BUT it has destroyed my memory. short term and long term I cant remember much of anything! The sexual side effects is just awful. It makes reaching an orgasm almost impossible! I am very scared that I may have full blown alzheimers by the time I am 30!

Has anyone gained they're memory back after stopping topamax?

I have been on topomax for nearly a year and have many of the same problems you guys have but a new one has popped up on me that scared the shit outta me and no one can seem to figure out what is causing it.
During sex just before orgasm my brain felt like it was going to explode!!
All I could do was hold my head in my hands and roll on the bed. this pain lasted for almost 8 hours. the next day i felt fine and went motorcycle riding and while racing my buddy and while passing him(More Excitement) It hit again and it was all I could do to stay on the bike. Went to the hospital and they did cat scans mri ,mra tests and have found nothing wrong w/my head .So my ? is could this be coming from my topomax??

Hey I've been on Topamax for a week and a half now. Thats not too long. I have been lucky. I've experienced the tingling extremities, some bowel issues, definate exuastion and the worst, FLAT SODA!!! But nothing to extreme, or should I say moderate versions of all these but I experienced something I hadn't seen posted here several days ago. I was having intercourse with my wife and when I actually had my orgasm I went completely numb. In fact the only reason I knew it happened at all was the obvious evidence. I was sober at the time and it hasn't happened since but it felt like the same tingling in my extremities only from head to toe. It was highly dissappointing but I thought might lighten someones mood to hear it told.

I have never been able to have an orgasm during intercourse or orally with my husbad EVER until Topamax. Now I do FIRST every time. It is SO strange. It usually occurs within 3 minutes of sex. I am a 35 year old female who is taking 100mg for Migraines. I also take 100 mg. Zoloft. I have looked ALL over the internet for someone with similiar side effect and haven't found anyone. Thanks

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.
