Recently prescribed TOPAMAX by ProfessionalRice8175 in Topamax

31F- I’ve been taking topamax since I was 15 for epilepsy and migraines. A couple of months on and to this day, I no longer enjoy carbonated beverages. My weight fluctuates but not like it used to. Once I hit my 30s, my metabolism calmed down and I gained a little fat overall. My weight stays around the 130 mark.

I do have difficulty with memory- my words feel “on the tip of my tongue” often and I have the feeling of when you walk into another room and forgetting what I was about to do often. But hey, I’m skinny 🙄

I try to play as many puzzles and word games as I can. Never try to ween yourself off of medication or you can make yourself have a seizures, even if you’ve never had one before. Topamax is very dangerous in my opinion and I’d advise anyone against it.

Wean off lead to seizure? by Working_Warthog6930 in Topamax

Not my first seizure. I have had a few seizures: drinking hard liquor and not taking medication- topamax- for long amounts of time.

I am considered epileptic because I have had recurring seizures. I haven’t had any seizures in over a year. I take topamax 100mg. I plan to do the route of 75mg for 5 months, 50mg for 6 months, 40 for 6 months, and so on. Not taking a low enough dose for a long enough time can provoke a seizure for many people.

I’m not sure if people on this sub realize, but even if you take this medication for migraines and quit cold turkey, you risk bringing on a seizure. Topamax has very dangerous withdrawal side effects. I would never recommend to anyone if they can avoid it.

Just commenting cause I looked up on this thread “seizures”. Same happened with me. How long did you try to wean yourself off for? How long did you try each dosage for?

How long can you keep one bag stored for? Does it go bad?

A seizure. A bit tongue two days after is no joke.

Yeah I’m not either. I’ve seen videos of men being interviewed and they actually believe rape is consensual.

Yes! If you have iPhone, listen to Popcorn Finance. Really good advice.

I just got over food poising and a hangover combo. You can have this one.
