Hi Bear:-) When I first started Topamax, I really lost my appetite and lost 25 pounds on it. It just made me not want to eat at all. I did get headaches the first 2 weeks I was on it. I was like-'wait I thought this med was just approved for migraines even' LOL but the headaches did subside. My brother was on Wellbutrin and because his doctor had talked about the possible side effect of seizures with that med-he weaned himself off of it. It just wasn't for HIM.
Hang in there-I wish you the best!

But I have crashing terrible headaches everyday, like right above my ears, going backwards (sometimes in my temples)to the back of my head. I read somewhere Topamax can cause Glaucoma, and now of course, Im thinking the worst and thinking it's that.
