i have a ? i was on topamax when i was 14 when they first diagnosed me with bipolar and it made me lose all.kinds of weight now i am back on it and im 22 and it seems like im not hardly losing anything. does anyone have any advice?
I just started topamax a week ago, how long does it take to notice weight loss or loss of appitite? I havent noticed it yet. Im on 100Mg a day
I was put on this med to help my restless legs. Is there anyone anyone out there that has had success with it for this?
I was put on topamax last august and the weight loss was negligable but nice. I really wasn't all that overweight to begin with.
Since March I have been experiencing premature fullness that I suspect may be a result from this medication. If it affects nerves, I wonder if it is not affecting the nerve that sends impulses to my stomach telling it that I am full.
Literally, I can take a few bites and feel abnormally full. Might be coincidence, but on the nights when I accidentally skip doses, the following day, I can almost eat normally-only to have symptoms return the next morning and subsequent weeks with a vengence.
Anybody else have anything like this at all!?
My neurologist doesn't seem to think this drug is to blame.
I do not have insurance now myself. you can now get topamax at walmart in a generic. it is a low price
Hi. I suffered from MAV (migraine associated vertigo). I had been taking topomax for 3 years and it was working great for me, maybe too great. I was feeling great. I was in great shape, eating whatever I wanted, working out on a regular basis. It really changed my life. I thought I was "better" so I went cold turkey. I felt fine but started to notice my weight coming on really fast. They my migraines came back and the vertigo. Not immediate but after about 6 months. After a year I have gained 30 pounds. I have lost all my self esteem and deal with the migraines again. I just started back on topomax again. My doctor was right and I will never question him again. I WILL take this for thr rest of my life.
