So I have been taking topamax for a couple months now (300mg) for my anxiety/receptive thoughts and it works really well for me. Unfortunately I was aware of the effects with taste and smell, however it has effected my sense of smell so badly that I am now getting sick (throwing up) because things smell so strongly to me.
For example, if something is cleaned with bleach/bleach water I can smell it for weeks, in separate rooms, I can smell things no one else can (mostly bad things) and instead of being able to smell good things like the scent of a candle I can just smell nasty wax, anyways the smelling part of these pills have gotten so bad it is starting to make me sick (i have thrown up several times) Is there anything similar to this? looking for something extremely strong for anxiety/repetitive thoughts? Been on : wellbutrin, celexa, effexor, prozac, viibryd, buspar. need something stronger? I seem my doc on Monday. Thanks

I take prozac and topamax, and that seems to stop my counting behaviors - counting my steps as im walking, etc. I had to make a lot of life changes to really take down the anxiety, plus tons of therapy. Well really just one life change - cut off all contact with my family. Once i did that, i was also able to stop taking wellbutrin.

I just have a problem with it causing me to be physically sick because of the sensitivity to smells, it makes bad smells so strong that I get sick so often. I can't take it.
