This is a little late on, but any new effects, bad or good? i just caught your posting.I just started taking Topamax a little over a week ago at 25mg for mood swings/mild bi-polar. After 30 days at 25mg I increase to 50 mg. No effects, bad or good, yet that i have noticed, except that before I had nightly vivid dreams now-nothing (boring!). I hope this stuff works. I am so sick of my unexplainable rage, ups and downs, unpredictability, and everyone having to walk on eggshells around me. I previously was on depakote and effexor with a different doc but that made me both racey and lazy feeling. Plus up to now I was always of the mind set that I could go off the meds once i felt better, anytime. Don't do it! Consult your doc first!
Just last night, actually. I noticed a change in my dreams right away, they were much more vivid(I really don't mind that, anyway!). Have you experienced anything like this? How long have you had the itchy skin, and how long did it take for this side effect to begin?
