> My problem is very different. I have been on Topomax for 6 weeks for Migraine prevention. I have GAINED 18 lbs. I have a lot of very negative side effects. My hair is falling out in alarming amounts. My hands and feet tingle all the time.I have a constant twitching in my right eye (similar to a light muscle spasm) I forget words constantly, and embarrasingly enough when I am discussing contracts, I forget what I am talking about, making me look totally unprofessional. Also I do not get cold any more than usual on this medication. I take 50 mg. daily. My follow up is this week and I will be asking to be taken off this medication. It has been a bit of a nightmare for me. For those of you that have success with this medication, I wish you well.
