Topamax and wt loss

I'm a 26 year old female and I've been on Topamax since March 2007. It has completely gotten rid of the debilitating headaches I experienced 3-6 times a week. It also got rid of my anxiety. I got my life back, my antidepressant kicked in at the same time. I experienced all the usual side-effects, tingling hands and feet, forgetting words, memory problems, loss of appetite, but was COMPLETELY pain-free. I still am. However, I never remember anything now, forget whether or not I did something, paid my bills, etc, lose things constantly, and I have lost about 20 lbs. Not good. I look anorexic. I have bones sticking out. Eating is hard. I forget to eat and drink all day and food is just unappealing. I feel fuzzy and stupid and slow. Not sharp like I used to be. It has killed my confidence and self-esteem. But I was wondering if any women out there got yeast infections while they were on Topamax. I've had one monthly since I started it, and my doc said it's a rare side effect. Oh yeah, I've had mild hair loss and mild to moderate acne now. This drug, it is such a 50-50. Living with chronic pain, those headaches were awful. But doubting yourself is awful too. Anyone have similar experiences?

I HAVE PERMANENT SENSORY PRECEPTIN LOSS IN MY MOUTH, MY DR NOW WAS IN ON TESTS AT BEGINNING AND HE SAYS IT IS A SIDE EFFECT OF TOPAMAX, I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SIDE EFFECT AND IS AFRAID TO TELL ANYONE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL THINK THEY ARE CRAZY, MY DR THAT I HAD EARLIER WHEN THE SIDE EFFECTS OCCURED DID THINK I WAS CRAZY AND GAVE ME DRUGS TO MASK THE PROBLEM AND THEY MAKE ME FEEL CRAZY. I ALSO HAD ALL THE TYPICAL SIDE EFFECTS, WT. LOSS, HAIR LOSS, ETC.

I have been taking Topamaz spinkles (30mg a day) for 3 months. I can't tolerate higher doasages. Migranes have lessened in intensity, although I still have a least 2 a week. I have toruble with my memory and hair loss. I have had a slight wt loss. I have no sex drive. Food does not interest me.
I started taking topamax because migranes were interferring with school. Catch 22 - I failed last semister due poor recall. I am taking myself off topamax. I may have migranes, but at least I will enjoy sex.
