What is meant, specifically, by "taste aversion"? I've been on Topamax for about five weeks with no major side affects, but I have noticed that my sense of taste and smell have changed. Mainly, I have a more acute sense of smell at times when the object is something that makes me feel sick to my stomach (feces, food). Also, I have had the feeling of upset stomach when I even think of food, or when I eat (even very simple foods).
These symptoms have only been around since I went up to 100 mg a day. However, unlike the others I feel like I am GAINING mental clarity (book pages fly by AND I retain info).
Does anyone know if the sick/food aversion feeling will go away?
