> I thought I had gained all the weight I possibly could gain when my doctor put me on Neurontin and I gained even more. My doctor had assured me this med should not cause a weight gain, so I wonder if anyone else out there is having a problem with this med. Also, how bad does the hair loss get with Depakote? Everything I have read on this med mentions hair loss as a side effect and my doctor has me on herbs and vitamins and so far so good, but I just don't want to wake up some morning and find myself bald. I have been on Depakote now 2 1/2 years and am more than 50 lbs heavier than I used to be. My meds costs $2,000 every three months. What a price some pay for normal. DD
My doctor put me on Topamax about two months ago and I'm experinced wait gain, partial seziures, slur speech and I'm always tired. My doctor says that Topamax would be the best medicine to be on if I wanted to have a baby. I did my own research on Topamax and found out that Topamax was only used in animal studies for pregancy experiments. Right now I'm trying to change over to Diamox to take with my Tegertol. Does anyone know about pregnacies with Topamax? Please email me if you do.
