Shari, Do you have side effects with Topamax? When I took it, I had some relief with it... BUT... It made me feel ANGRY. My temper was uncontrollable on it ---which is rare for me. I'm very mild and easy going. It made me very confrontational with the world every where I went. I was told it was a side effect, and my neurologist pulled me off of it after I went off on a woman in a parking lot because she let her daughter write "WASH ME" on back of our new car at the time. (LOL) I wish I could have stayed on it. It also made me lose a few pounds at the time, and it gave me energy. It's been out quite a while now. I think at least since 2000... so hopefully a generic will come out soon for some financial relief. I think they usually take 5-10 yrs. Anyway, just wondered... Best of luck to you!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Shari, My daughter took Topamax for her migraines. She had to stop as she developed 2 kidney stones from it.
