In reply to Topamax and Severe Abdomin Pain, posted by DarcyP on November 1, 2003, at 3:50:41
> I have lost about 75 Pounds over the last year taking Topamax,but now I am faced with severe abdominal pain,I have been tested for everything,from Urinary Tract Infections,Kidney Stones to STD'S everything comes back clean(Thank-God)but my Doctor is totally baffled as to whats causing my pain,I see that one of the side effects is severe abdominal pain does anyone know if a person could start getting this after a year of taking it with no problems?Oh and the pain started on the right side and has spread to the left and doesnt leave even with painkillers it's a constant pain...Thanks for your help
First congrats on the weight! WOW! I am not losing anything near that! I havent weighed myself, but Im losing some inches, but I KNOW I havent lost antyhing near even 20 lbs., probably not even 10, Ive been on it about 2 months now.
But since Wednesday I have unexplained severe abdominal pain along with diarrhea, which thankfully stopped now, but the abdominal pain is still here. I didnt know that was a side effect! I didnt read that anywhere! It's only on my left side. I dont have ANY symptoms of kidney stones (I drink 64+ ounces of water a day), mine isnt even constant, only in certain positions. How long have you have had it?
And please tell me more about the weight loss
