I'm really interested in hearing from Topomax users as well. My doc is thinking of switching me over from Tegretol.

Thanks!

Nic

Thankfully, I am no longer on Topamax. From what I hear, it can be a "miracle drug" for some, but unfortunately, I was not one of them.

Tingling and bad taste of soda are anoining side effects that should go away with time. I took up to 400mg of topamax and you can take 600mg safely. One bad side effect I am aware of is how it affects you mentally. I felt like I was in a fog. I would get lost going places I had been to 100x before. Couldn't remember nothing syndrom set in quickly. I had to quit taking it because of the way it was mentally affecting me. Some people loose weight on the drug but that is usually at 200mg or higher.
