This is a TOPA survey, which will hopefully benefit all of us, and maybe also future members and hopefuls that want to start on the road of either moderation or abstinence.
As TOPAMAX works differently depending on the person, probably weight, age, gender, etc, I will try to give you a profile of myself (which you do not have to exactly follow in your post if you do not want to share that info). It just makes it easier for people to sort of gauge where there are in the stream of time, after their first dosage of TOPA. I'm into my 4th week of TOPA. I'm a 35 year old male, 75 kgs.
125 mgs (50 mgs in the morning, 75 mgs in the afternoon)
I'm into my 4th week of TOPA
Side effects: Not too heavy, only tingling in the feet, sometimes memory blanks, and looking for words, but it's less dramatic if you're prepared for it (I'm taking my i-pod to meetings to avoid total blanks) Metallic taste, came to abhor my most favourite beverage champagne.
Success: Only today the cravings have lessened a bit. So, I'm all in all hopeful.
Please note that apart from multi-vitamins, I'm not taking any other supplements or do hypno-therapy.
Best,
Paddy
