I am on 300mg of topamax daily (for anxiety) and it has ruined taste for me in a lot of ways but what has been really strange is I know how a very strange sense of smell, and not for good things, for example, if I use bleach to clean, I can smell bleach forever and it has a terrible stench (it never goes away), and another example would be if I lit a candle instead of smelling a nice scent I would just smell wax not the actually nice scent, so I basically just smell some strong things and not many good things anymore. This is getting a little intense, but the medication works well, however like I said it is intense and effecting my everyday life.
I have been on 6 antidepressants/anti anxieties over the last 8 or so months and finally this one seems to be helping so I would hate to quit but it also gives a strange taste in my mouth because of these strange smells. Might I also mention, that I was helping a friend clean out her house and she had some mold and that mold smell was so intense for me, but she did not smell anything at all? Why can I smell things like this but others cannot? Thanks

I'm on 400 mg it has stabalized my moods for bipolar 1 it's great, I have lost lots of weight . It has killed taste in beverages with fizz, also slowed down my thinking skills, but I will not give it up, I switched from lithium.
As for the sense of smell Am sensitive even before topomax. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So has topamax intensified this even more for you? is it hard to live with?
