The benefits of Topamax?!


Question:

The benefits of Topamax?

I was just put on topamax to help my migraines. My biggest concern is how drowsy it makes me. What is the normal dosage people are put on? I am on a 100 mg. Can you really lose weight on this stuff??


Answers:

I was on Topamax for about a year or so. When you take it you have to gradually up the dosage. I started on 25mg the first week and every week it went up. At the end I was on 400mg a day. I did lose weight, not sure how much. It worked really good keeping the migraines away. My symptoms were tingling fingers and lips, stuttering....I guess that's what you would call it....It was like my brain was working too fast for my mouth or something...lol. Also, if you don't drink enough water, I'm talking ALOT of water, you will get kidney stones. I have 1 now and I stopped taking the Topamax. I still get migraines every so often, but I haven't found another med. that works the way Topamax does w/o the side effects.
