Hello friends. My doctor started giving me 25 mg Topamax for my headaches. Can anyone give me some information about this drug? Good or bad. Thanks.

 
It's kind of a weird one. Originally it was an antiseizure med. Now it's used to treat migraines, sleep walking and some other sleep issues (seen it used for ptsd nightmares), and bipolar disorder. Doctors like to prescribe this one. My boyfriend, my dad, and I have all been on it at one time or another. Didn't do a anything for my migraines but my dad swears by it for his nightmares.

 
i I was prescribed topamax for bipolar disorder because the meds I was on had caused so much weight gain so the topamax was a hopeful alternative that would help me lose weight. After 2 weeks I lost 20 pounds but it affected me really badly mentally. I started feeling very off in my thoughts and even though its an anti seizure med, it actually made my seizure disorder worse to where I started having auras and lobe seizures. By the second week the schizophrenic homeless woman who rented her storage unit with us started making perfect sense to me and her and I could sit and have long conversations that my husband told me made no sense. Just a bunch of psycho babble. I wanted to lose weight so bad but not at the cost of my sanity so I got off of it immediately. Im very sensitive to meds. I can't take most things and stuff affects me weird so dont let my story scare you. I have known a few people whove taken it for milder disorders and done very well. I will definitely say this tho. Communication is absolutely necessary when taking a new med. Call your dr if you notice anything off. Write down any side effects and make a list of any changes good or bad and if its not urgent make sure to bring this to your next apt. Sometimes the dosage needs to be adjusted but your dr won't know if thats necessary unless you communicate. Good luck.
