I agree with Bizi that this isn't topamax. These are neurological symptoms, and I don't think med side effects could explain all of these symptoms.
I think Coffeegirl knows this, but some docs keep insisting it's this med. I hope your docs can figure this out soon. (((((BIG HUGS)))))) -Kay |

Hi Mari, I read that you were on Topomax for a week and a half. You said it was horrible. Can you tell me what were your side effects and how long it took for them to go away? My husband has been on it for 5 days at 50 mgs a day and now his hip is paralized. He can't bent. He can't bend his knees. He can walk, but he looks like a robot. Any info you can provide me will be greatly appreciated? Brenda.

You are describing a serious side effect. The doctor has to be notified immediately. And your husband will probably be given a different medication. Call the doctor that prescribed the Topamax. Also call the pharmacy where you got the Topamax. The side effects I encountered did not go away during the ten days I was on it. M |

I'm on it for migraine prevention. It has been helpful for that. It is a med I love to hate. I have lost track of how many years I have been on it. I'm on 50 mgs. I was a mess when on higher dosages. I had severe memory loss. Even at 50 mgs. It is tough and I very much miss my former self. I take PS 100 (have mentioned this a lot on this forum), which I get at Whole Foods and it seems to help a little with the memory issues and I'm appreciative. I hope some day in the near future to get down to 25 mgs, fingers crossed.
