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.

  1. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 my boy from way back is a die hard NOLA fan we have some pretty solid back n forth trash talk thru the years haha
