[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 36798, member: 1514"] I take topamax for bipolar and nerve pain. I swear by it. I may get a little bit of cognitive problems but we cant tell if they are from the topamax or my fibro because I really started having them before I started having them before the topamax. I take a huge dose of topa compared to most users. My patented advice is to start low and go slow. I did and have had very few side effects. I did have weight loss the first time I went on topa. They took me off it for a few months the end of last year/beginning of this year and when I restarted it, the weight loss effect didnt come back...drat it all! One thing you do need to remember is to drink water if you take a very high dose because it can cause kidney stones. So far I have one gotten two of them and that happens if I reduce my fluid intake drastically. [/QUOTE]
