I've take Top'a'max too. I don't think the
tingling and numbness will go away. A lot of
people get that and the majority seem to get
the confusion too. Good news on the mood clamp
though.I lost weight on Topamax because it reduced my
appetite and I ate less, not because it increased
my metabolism.J
> I'm taking Topomax for bi-polar II and it definitely helps the mood swings (along with 500mg of Serazone). My issues with it are loss of concentration and ability to remember in short-term. I had to back off of 200mg a day to 100 mg and that got a little better. The worst problem now is tingling and numbness in my fingers, toes and lips. It's better at the lower dosage but still a bother. Anybody else?? P.S. I've had no weight loss. For all of this, I could at least drop a few pounds.
