Topamax and severely

I've only been on Topamax for 3 weeks, and I am already wanting to get off of it. My doctor DID NOT tell me about all of the side effects, he told me the most common was the tingling in the hands and feet, which is so painful for me. I have lost the taste for carbonated beverages, which I only realized for myself by looking on a website that was caused by the medicine. My advice to anyone is to get a second opinion before going on this medicine. Now I have to wait until my doctor says its ok to stop taking it.

It appears that this drug played havoc with me psychologically. It caused severe depression to the point of suicidal tendencies, mood swings, crying fits and severe anger and rages. It messed up my sleep so much that I am now severely sleep deprived. And all this has been building up for like 6-9 months. I have lost sao much in the past two-three months, what I feel is the peek of the build up of this med in my system, and I believe it is due to this med. I lost my job that until recently I loved so very much, a very important person in my life and all my support systems. Everyone said I was going crazy and I believed them. I stopped taking the med for two days and already am starting to feel a bit clearer.
I found some websites, including medical ones, that say pschological side effects, though not very common, are known to happen. The very ones that occured to me.
