> Hi Kat,

> Oh, don't believe 100% of what the doctors tell you. You know your own body best, right? We know the Topamax is the main culprit here.....but I'm willing to put up with the discomforts for the weight loss, the mood stabilization, and the just plain feeling more like the old Sandra than I have in years.
> I can't believe it I thought I just started getting heartburn or something until I read this but I guess its the Topomax right? I have never had heartburn until now (accept with pregnancy)
I don't seem to be having the lowered appetite but I am wanting lots of water and NO soda now which is a huge switch!! I just hope a notice a weightloss!! I can't believe the acid indigestion is a factor I thought it was my getting older(34)!!!!!!!!!!
> There's one thing I forgot to mention, and I don't know if any of you are going through this too. PROBABLY! Lol. Are you having a build-up of stomache acid? I have never in my 40 years of life had acid indigestion!!! It definately makes me not want to eat or drink, and this sour/acid stuff keeps coming up my throat. It can happen for a short period of time during the day, or it can seem to last most of the day. Makes me feel UGH!!!!

> So I've got myself a big ole box of Ranitidine 75 mg (generic brand of a stomache acid reducer). Lasts for 9 hours. Why pay the outrageous brand costs when this is the same ingredient???? This box comes with 60 pills, and it only takes one pill to work (occassionally I need 2, but very rarely). No more acidic tummy after about 10-15 minutes. Without it, there would be days that I wouldn't even be able to drink water!!!!!!
>
> So, I know the extra acid in my stomache is from the Topamax because I've never had it before AND this is when the symptom began. I'm going to be a walking pharmacy before too long! Lol!
>
> Does anyone know why Topamax would cause excess stomache acid?
>
> And, hey......here's something else!! LOL!!!! My sister was just pointing out the other day how nice my hair was looking lately!!!!! She said it just looked so soft and pretty! Hee hee!!!! So I'm now a walking pharmacy with pretty hair!!!!!
