Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Thanks for the response. I guess when reading the side effects they got me concerned but I do realize they have to list everything so no one can sue them! They are wanting me work up to 100 mg a day.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Thanks Cheryl for your response. I certainly appreciate it. They are wanting me to work up to 100mg a day. Losing the weight would be an added bonus for me as I put on alot due to steriods after brain tumor removal. Before the tumor removal I gained 127lbs because my growth hormones were messed up so it would be a real plus but I need it for the migrane relief. I had no migranes before brain surgery only after. Kind of opposite of most people. So if it helps with the migranes I would be thrilled, if it helps with the weight loss that would be ok. I drink Diet Pepsi and had noticed it tastes almost acid. I also have Diabetes Insipidus(this is not diabetes) so I drink gallons of water and like pop for a change but for the last couple of days I have only had water because the pop tastes like rusty water or something similar. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it! Gwen Cheryl wrote:Hi Gwen - I take 200 mg Topomax daily for nerve pain, and I have had very few side effects from it.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Being on Topomax for just about a year, gave me a kidney stone. Very painful! It was one of the rare side effects, but it seems that this drug just has too many risks. JMHO. Hugs, Gwen wrote: I am just wondering if any of you take or have taken Topomax? They started me on this for migranes and the side effects it states are very scary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
