can any one tell me anything about topamax?

Hello I just was put on topamax 25 mg for one week then up to 50 mg every night at bed time. It is to treat migrane headaches that I get almost everyday. I started it friday night I have lost a total of 6 pounds since then and I feel off. I don't normally take medicine like this and I am jsut wondering has any one ever taken it before?

I would get back to your doctor and tell them what is going on.  Have you heard anything about the new "oils"?  There is a massage therapist in our area that uses these and they are working wonders.

Hun how are things going with your bf? The migraines are more than likely stressed related. The same thing happened to me during the active addiction in my home. I was so physically sick with migraines and panic attacks.
Are you going to alanon meetings, counseling, exercising, eating properly, sleeping? Taking care of you?

Just a comment though...you should always research a medication prescribed prior to taking it.  Best wishes!
