Wl- pill topiramate aka topamax



Recommended Posts

I took topamax for severe Migraines and stress induced seizures in 2006 and that stuff really helped me lose weight. I mean, I didn't want to eat EVER and the weight just fell right off, but the problem is, at least for me, that when I quit the topamax because I was having a bad interaction with the maxalt my neurologist had also given me(you would of thought he would have known that was a bad combo but whatever), that all that weight came back with a cruel vengeance and some friends. So just be aware of that should you need to wean off of it for whatever reason.

Funny how medications effect everyone differently. I take 200 mg of Topamax twice a day and Maxalt together and haven't had any interaction problems but lost zero weight.

Don't want to hijack this thread but I see a lot of migraineurs. I have chronic mig with and without aura. Tried Topamax three different times but had to discontinue due to side effects ( including kidney stones). what I want to know is how did WLS impact your Migraines? How about the liquid diet?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
