I feel a little fatigued an hour after taking it (I take in the evening) and soda tastes different. My doc put me on it for weight control.

Thanks -

Topomax, as a mood stabilizer, didn't do a thing for me. It has been shown to help with weight though, so hopefully you'll begin to see some benefit there. I can't remember the dosage I was on, as it was 12 years ago that I was on it. Be aware that it may affect your cognitive abilities, particularly things like finding the right words for things and keeping your train of thought.

Hey
I asked to go back on this today to my psych. I have never asked for a specific drug before . ( i hate take my meds) but... When I was on Topamax before I was more able to quit drinking. It made beer taste like poo so I wouldn't drink it and i also lost a fair bit of weight on it. so i asked today because I really want to stop drinking and am finding it hell. she said it is a med for epilepsy and may not be able to perscribe it because that's not in my diagnosis. i remember feeling really betrayed about being taken off it before because it really helped me but didn't have the guts to kick off about it. Can relate to the soda- tastes baaaad. But for me that's gooood.
