Hi Suzanna
I took topamax for about 6 months, and got no effect from it, at all.
I did, however, loose a few pounds, and i got the feeling of pins and needles in my hands and feet. I also could not drink anything with bubbles in it, such as soda's, sparkling water, etc.
Good luck in your quest in finding something that works for you!

Hi Suzanna,
I took Topamax for about 6 months and it did help prevent my migraines.  The only problem was severe pins and needles in my feet and calves.  Otherwise I didn't have any problems.  And unfortunately, I didn't lose any weight, as the doctor claimed I would.  :(
Hope it helps you.
