Well I had to stop taking it
My stomach is still upset as I took it too long I guess
Now I have major digestive issues that im not sure will ever go away
I would recommend NOT taking topimax
Even though it sure helped my tremors
I'm deeply disappointed

I'm taking Topamax for alcoholism, but I'm finding the drug is having more of an anti-depressive effect on me than anything else. My mood is much more up beat, I'm more talkative and I am also losing weight. My poops are also huge. I'm not sure why, but I had a foot long poop yesterday morning and a foot long poop a few minutes ago. It was really strange. Anyways, I'm almost out of Topamax so I need to get more. One thing I noticed about Topamax was that the taste of some some alcohol like vodka was bad after taking the drug while beer tasted better.

I wouldn't worry about the hair. I'm very concerned about mine after losing so much of it to other health issues I can't afford it either. I've never heard anyone shouting that side effect from the rooftops.

I don't know if you will ever read this, but you just confirmed my feeling that my Topamax was causing hernia like pain in my lower left abdomen. Clear CT, clear physical exam twice but horrible pain. I have gone off it for several days and pain is gone! Thank you!

My story is the same. Now almost 3 years on I still get pains when I have wind or a bowel movement. Topamax has damaged the nerve endings in my bowel leaving it hypersensitive. My anus and the area around it is also hypersensitive too, again caused by the medication.

Ive been on 75 mil of topamax for almost a year. the stomach pain is unbareable. there are days i cant even get out of bed. i was on topamax before and developed kidney stones too. but my migrain headaches are so bad is the reason i started taking topamax again. i am weaning myself off of topamax as its ruining my life. the stomach pain is worse than giving birth and life is passing me by. i also bloat like im a dead animal. also, i have not lost weight on the drug. I have not had a migrain either. but the pain in my stomach i cannot stand another day. So im not going to take this drug. id rather have a migrain. linda

That is terrible! I was about to try it again since it worked so well for tremors. But I am not going to now since so many have confirmed my belief that this medicine caused damage to my gut and after being off of it for 2 years , I still have stomach trouble :(
I do wish there was a medicine that worked as well for the tremors

I'm in my third month and this is exactly what I have been experiencing. Luckily for me it was only meant to get off soda and a quick 35 lbs lost. I am stopping Topamax today! Thank you!!

I have been off for a few years and STILL have gut trouble. I never had any oroblem at all befoee Topimax
Hate that stuff ! I tried the capsules and almost immediately the burn was there and stayed for almost 24 hrs!
Never again. Back to Gabapentin - doesnt work as well but at least my stomach doesnt pay the price

Are you still having the stomach pain since lowering the dosage? Which side do you have your pain in your stomach?

I too have issues with sleeping at night. Stomach pain on my left side and back pain on my left side. (Flank pain) My doctor's have ruled out female issues and kidney stones. I have had kidney stones before. 3 yrs ago I had surgery for them. I understand the excruciating pain were it's unbearable. Have you gotten any answers for your pain while taking Topamax?
