I've been on Topamax for 2 months now. I take 200mg. I've had few side effects, but the few I've had are somewhat bothersome. A few of my nails are actually lifting. Not like a fungus, just white spots that are actually lifting from my nail bed, and some of my hair is coming out, like when I wash it, there is a little more in my brush than ususal Yikes! Actually last night quite a bit. I bought some vitamins that I think I will start today, does anyone know what would help these side effects? Any specific vitamins? I also cannot even pick up a soda, even Sprite tastes like either metal or just plain downiright nasty-it is relly weird, so now I drink that Propel fitness water or just iced tea. Then when I get hungry and eat, I get through like a few bites and I just can't finish what I eat. Which of course I don't mind, I need to lose a few heheh I also have the feeling, which is getting better, of absolutely no motivation and sleeping a lot. I would wake up, eat crackers, then go back to bed, wake up, take meds, go back to sleep. This side effect bothers me because I have loads of schoolwork to catch up on after I just went through a whole medication change and took a "hiatus" from life for a month and to open my books and concentrate is a toughie. I've lost about 25 Lbs. This med is a trip. Does anyone out there have any feedback or experience they would be willing to please share with me?
Thank youGal
