Topamax and sexually active

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.
