Hi Everyone,
I have been taking Topamax 25 mg for 1 week. I can't stand it. Today I am to up my dosage to 50 mg.I am not sure if I want to do that. The side effects suck.. I think I would rather just deal with my migraines, at least I know how to do that since I have had them for over 25 years. I have tried everything and nothing has worked so the Dr. and I thought we would give this a try.
I am trying to keep my place of employment happy with trying to cut down on the migraines but nothing works.
Most days I just want to give up.
Hopefully we will be able to figure something out.
I can't stand the pickhands and feet, the stumbling like I am drunk( and I dont' drink) nothing tastes right anymore, I have the shakes and I ache.
And all it does is makes me sleepy and like I am in another world.
I went to work today and made it half an hour before I came home because I stumbled and almost fell over. And when the boss talked to me it was like I wasn't there. So I came home. I don't know but I don't like it at all.

I have tingling of course of hands and feet. I take it for bi-polar disorder. Every time my dose is increased i freak out as if i am tripping out or as if i am in a dream watching myself. I start to get very paraniod and cannot leave my house but of course i have to so i live in insanity until my body gets used to the new dose. if i forget or mess up and not take it for 2-3 days, i have to go through that process again. I am in between if this medication is worth it or not. It seems to make me more moody although I am taking it to control my moods but at the same time , it seems to help, i don't know i can't seem to keep a thought enough to know. I have lost weight and for that i am happy. I also get the shakes and high anxiety if around alot of people. I think these extreme side affects go away in time but I find with topamax that if I skip doses the effects are pretty extreme so I set a timer to make sure this does not happen.

I am having alot of side effects such as dry skin, shakes, lots and lots of energy, and loss of appetite, tingling. I was wondering if anyone was having the problem with dry skin and if they knew what to do with the dry skin and hair problem.
