Related User Reviews for Side Effects

My MD stated that she has not heard of numbness being a side effect. Must take a sleeping tablet every night

When the cardiologist tried to increase the dosage my throat swelled and I kept coughing, but he had not warned me of this possible side effect, so for two days I was trying to accommodate too much of the drug for my system.

i will never take this medication again. the side effects arent worth it. im going to start taking probiotics to see if that helps, because i dont think i can do this for six more days.

i am on day 2 of 7 of taking 500mg pills twice a day and before i found this site i thought i was going crazy. i feel spaced out, like i'm on a different planet. zero energy. i have spent the entire day yesterday and so far much of today on the couch. depression was very bad yesterday but has seemed to ease up today. i don't know if its working because i had no symptoms of my bacterial vaginosis. very bad metallic taste in my mouth. these side effects get somewhat better towards the evening. i would try to find a different medication if i ever got this again.

I have read all the different comments about topamax, and I was hesitant about taking it. The first week was really rough with the side effects. But it was worth sticking it out. I started out taking 25mg for 4 days, and then 50mg, and now I am up to 75mg, and today is the first day I feel like myself! I am glad I stuck it out. One thing I figured out though, is the time I take it. I was feeling really sick about 12 hrs after I took it, so I take it around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, so it takes affect while I am sleeping, this has been a huge help.
