I have just been prescribed Topamax by my Neurologist yesterday for my Occipital Neuralgia, and after reading all the comments here about the different side-efects, I'm scared to even start taking it! I have tried many different meds for my headaches, and they all have had horrible side-effects, and it looks like Topamax will probably be the same! I don't know if it's the right med for O.N. considering it is listed as just for epilepsy and now migraine.
The only good thing is I hope I can lose weight on it, because I really need to. But all the other side-effects, like drowsiness, slowed thinking and memory loss, scare the hell out of me! I don't want it to kill my creativity!
