2 weeks on Topamax and really ill with the fact beer tasted like liking metal. So I drank a few liquor drinks for the fourth of July- I only drink probably once every three to four weeks when we get together with friends. Got violently sick after four drinks- throwing up. Never done that before- so I guess soda, alcohol and food are out of my life- Wonder if I can tell my husband NO SEX is a side-effect because it will cause violent bouts of vomitting. Smile- what a trade off- migraines daily or side effects?????? Damned if you do- damned if you don't- but on a brighter note- these are things I can live with unlike cancer, parkinson disease etc. Just wondering if anyone else having marked side effect from drinking alcohol while taking the topamax?

A very disturbing side-effect of Topamax for me was a black-out period after having a couple of glasses of wine. I spent the evening with my boyfriend. We watched a movie, had a lucid conversation, consensual sex, and I remember absolutely nothing of the entire evening - scary. My boyfriend is quite upset by this, as am I.
