I FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS!!! And I look like it to boot!! (lol) I'm down 45 lbs. or so, sodas WILL taste good again and the tingling WILL go away so don't worry. My doctor topped me out at 100 MG of Topomax since I'm only taking it for Pseudotumor cerebri and I don't have seizures or any other problems. I can say that the side effects were a little bothersome in the beginning but they went away after the first month. My dosage increased 25 mg/week and once I got stable at 100 MG they just disappeared. Just saw my neurologist last week and she wants to see me in 1 year and wrote me the RX for 12 months. She is ecstatic with my weight loss and the fact that I have not had a single headache since I started taking the Topomax. Good luck to you and keep me updated as I do the same!!!
