You have to drink ALOT of water with Topamax....
It has just been approved as or is in the process of being approved for both headaches and weightloss...
SOme side effects I have found that the docs don't really warn you about (more on www.crazymeds.org) are things taste different...Coke tastes like Sprite etc...and you may break out (acne)...also birth control pill are not so effective. I take mine with a stimulant.
Topamax is known to make people kinda spacey/dumb at (I have heard) above 50mg (I take 200mg ;))unless you also take something to counteract it. I am not sure where I heard or read that, but you might ask your doc.
