    A ? for the ladies re: Topamax

    I see one of the side effects listed is "menstrual disorders." This is vague and a little disturbing to me. Has anyone had problems like that while taking this?

    A ? for the ladies re: Topamax

    Yep, That would be me Audrey. It was stopping my cycle while lowering my Blood pressure. I have read though that this only happens like in 1% of women who take it. Hope this helps. BTW, I am highly allergic to most medications,so you may have better results

      I had very few side effects. AND if it had stopped my cycle all together...YEAH! I wish I had had that one. To me nothing is worse than the side effects of alcohol, so it was well worth the try!

        Those side effects appeal to me!

            I wish I had that experience on Topa as well but I didn't. I only had the tingly sensation in my fingers and toes for a short time.

              I can't say I've read of this particular side effect ... sounds vague indeed. Did you see the other post about the recently published JAMA article? You have to look at the side effects that are significantly different between the Topa-takers and the comparison group ... not that I would "pooh-pooh" a reported side effect but so often I think drug companies have to report every single thing, even if it hasn't been proven to be caused by the drug. Know what I mean?

                    I'm like clock work and mine arrived 10 days early, 2 weeks after beginning topa, and much heavier than usual. I hadn't read about that possible side effect. Thanks for asking the question!

                      My first week... only on 25mg, raising it tomorrow. No side effects yet. I try not to think about it, cause I know I'll manafest them... imaginary or real... and I've had a hysterectomy. ;-)
