New to topamax..and thankful for this site. =] (original) (raw)

Hey my name is Robin and I am 19 years old. I started taking topamax about a 20 days ago. I have high blood pressure which causes me to have servere migraines I started out taking 25 mg a day , and now I am only taking 50mg a day. But I have noticed quite a few sideffects.

-tingling in bottom of both of my feet
-tremors
-all soda's taste flat
-cheese(which i love) is now nasty
-a weird taste in my mouth that I can't put a name too
-i sometimes feel very distant..almost a drunk feeling..
-I am very forgetful
-and tend to get very moody..one minute I am happy go lucky and the next I am a total monster..

I know that one of the side affects of topamax is missed period. But in the 20 days that I have been on topamax, 17 out of those 20 days, I have had my period. Serverely, and it isn't showing any signs of going away. Is this a normal side affect or is there something I should be concerend about?
...are any of these normal..I have read about some of them, but they all seem kinda weird to me.

-thanks much Robn
