In reply to topamax and a feminine question, posted by AKC on June 25, 2001, at 6:39:25

I am somewhat like clockwork with my menstrual cycle - one day before my period, I retain water (with sore breasts and irritability), 4 day period, then 4 weeks until it starts all over again. However, I started topamax 2 weeks ago. I suffered "pms" like symptoms for 4 days last week (mainly sore breasts), I started bleeding for about 1/2 day Saturday, stopped for 2 days, and then started again this morning. And I am about a week early. Is this at all anything to do with the topamax? Or am I just having one of those fluke periods? Thanks for any insight.Hey AKC
I'm not on topomax, I'm on elavil but I have had the same thing happening to me since starting it. My doc said it's common but if it really starts getting bothersome, you might want to try taking a low dose contraceptive pill and get your hormones back on track.
just a thought
