Hi all, Maggie hear....few notes to add,
re kidney stones, yes Topomax can be bad but not if you drink lots of water and that is also good for weight loss! I find it great for helping me sleep at night and it used to make me sleepy during day but not so much anymore. I am up to 75 mg and because I titrated(upped dose) slowly I don't have any more side effects. I feel next time I see doc I can start upping more quickly. I have not had any hair problems (keeping fingers crossed!)I am still finding I have good days and bad days mood wise but I think I am feeling more stable and happier moments are definately peaking through a lot!. My appetite has decreased but that could also be because I am on the Atkins diet.I started Atkins and Topomax at the same time, 8 weeks ago and I have lost 30 lbs.I am not complaining ;o)I haven't felt this good in a long time......
Maggie
