Topamax did cause a general lack of appetite and nausea in me for the first few months. However, that cleared up after a bit. Topamax is also being used as a diet drug because it tends to cause a wt. loss in users. However, I can tell you that for me, the loss of appetite and nausea didn't last very long and the wt. loss stops!!!!
> I have been prescribed topomax for migraines, and I am taking 25 mg 2x per day. The last two weeks I have experienced extreme stomach pain, and nasuea. The stomach pain lasts pretty much the whole day, but is pretty severe in the mornings, and I have lost about 12 pounds in 2 weeks. At lunch and dinner my appetite is about 1/2-3/4 of what it normally is, and breakfast, I eat a couple of bites of something. I am wondering if this is linked to the topomax. Can anyone relate?
