Donna, am glad that you take it for your headaches and you have not noticed any cognitive declines.
It does have the nick name of dopeamax. I need meds that keep me sharp, all psych meds can have side effects. I am on fewer meds than I have ever been on.And find myself stable. bizi

I took Topamax many years ago when it first was prescribed. I forgot food existed and lost a lot of weight. It did not help one bit with seizures.

I take it for my migraines. And it helps those. I lost about 25 lbs or 30 when I was first put on it. But I was already working to lose weight. |

Yes, it is. I just keep trying to lose more. I've not been able to really get much more so far. But I'm not stopping trying. Its just going to take a while to keep doing it. Donna |

We made plans to get together with our friends who are also veterans. They restaurant hop to get free meals for veterans day. I swung by texas road house for a coupon for a free meal. and we went to bj brew house for dinner with them. It was really nice we had not seen brian for 5-6 months. I get together with melissa about once a month to go to lunch.
tonight I drank 3 partakes before dinner and then drank 2 heinikens 0.0 with dinner finishing up at 7:30 the time that I said I would not drink after. The 0.0 have zero amount of alcohol but 69 calories that is 140 calories plus the partaks 30 x3 equals 90 calories. 230 calories for 5 beers less than one drink that I used to drink. I am still following my guidelines. That is what is important, to have control of my drinking behaviors. enough about that. jeff had a mini pizza, brian had chicken alfredo and melissa had parmesan cheese encrusted chicken, brocoli and mashed potatoes.She hardly ate any of it nor did brian. They both took home 3/4 of their meals jeff finished his pizza and I took home 3 thighs out of six and they had a spicy butter sauce it was very good. They were headed for wild buffalo wings for their free wings lol. I am getting ready to go to bed have my night time routine that takes me 20-30 minutes to do then take my meds and go to sleep. I need to get off of the computer..... thanks for reading my post and following me on this journey toward better health. lost another pound,yay. bizi

that is so great.you must have such an incredible metabolism. It so great about your not drinking. You do know don't you that drinking alcohol increases cognitive decline. I read even small amounts contribute to cognitive decline.
I mention this because you wrote you won't try topamax because 10 percent of the users have cognitive decline. love bobby Brain damage is a common and potentially severe consequence of long-term heavy alcohol consumption. Even mild-to-moderate drinking can adversely affect cognitive functioning (i.e., mental activities that involve acquiring, storing, retrieving, and using information) Many long-term effects of alcohol use can cause permanent damage to the brain, as well as to various organs. With intervention, brain damage may be reversible. Last edited by mymorgy; 11-12-2021 at 03:51 AM. |
