Topamax, Sedation, and Other Side Effects

Posted by Kingfish on November 9, 2000, at 16:04:30

I see that there are already some very serious posts about Topamax. I started on a 50 mg dose about a week ago to act as mood stabilizer. I have to take at least a 4 hour nap each day, and sleep a good 9 hours each night. I have the "odd taste" sensation another poster mentioned, especially with soda, and slur my speech sometimes.

These seem like pretty serious side effects to me. I take 40 mg of Celexa and had no problems getting used to that. What have you all experienced? Do they go away? I'm going up to 100 mg next week, then I believe to 200 mg.

Has anyone found any info on this drug pertaining to its use as a mood stabilizer? What about folks using it for migraines? All I can find is info on it as an anti-epileptic, and it makes me nervous. I prefer to know what's going on inside my body.

Thanks!!!
