Just when you thought you were safe, yet another AED is being recalled for the possibility of contamination. 57,000 bottles of Topamax (topiramate), are being pulled by a division of J&J, although the pharmaceutical company claims only about 6,000 bottles remain in circulation. The medicines...

Hi: My Neuro has suggested adding Topamax to my current Tegretol to try and eliminate the complex partial seizures I'm experiencing about 2 or 3 times a week. After doing some research on the nicknamed Dopamax, I'm interested to hear from others who also took this drug and Tegretol at the same...

Hi, all. Well, in addition to the almost constant migraines, I also have ringing in my ears. My epi says it's not the epilepsy or the meds. I'm not completely buying that answer. My ears have always rung on and off. Emphasis on the fact it eventually went OFF. It also ran in my family - my...

What can you tell me about ramping up on Topamax? How long before it starts to have a big effect? I've been on 25 mg 2X/day for 4 days, and so far no big difference. I think. I'm not sure. It's the only AED my neuro has me on. Keppra didn't work out. (reference my rather raging prior post...

Hey All, Hoping someone has some info for me. Had a Dr. appt yesterday and he's decided to add Topamax. He's starting me with a childrens dose cuz I don't react well to most meds. He warned me that one of the side effects is having trouble "finding my words". I talk for a living and am...

I was trying to search for epilepsy related articles in my newspaper. and one came up from september about how Johnson and Johnson (makers of the brand name Topamax anti-epileptic drug) are trying to pull themselves out of the recession. The have stated that their biggest loses are in the...

When My son was 7 months old he started having seizures. The doctors diagnosed him with a form of epilepsy called 'west syndrome'. They immediately started a drug called ACTH (acthar gel). He reacted very well and they believe that we he had is gone. However, he now has an umknown form of...

Hello, all! I'm not sure if I'm using this correctly, it's my first time on any type of forum. To start off, I'm 21 and living in Chicago. I thought my seizures were a part of my past so I could move out of my parents house and start a fresh chapter, but I guess they threw a curve ball and came...

Have any guys here had impotence as a side effect as a result of taking Topamax? When I went from 50 mg of Topamax twice a day to 200 mg of Topamax twice a day things literally didn't quite work the same! I read online they say only 1% of the Men taking Topamax for Epilepsy have this side...

My wife has seizures and sometimes she gets really tired and irritated, sometimes frustrated. She says its the side effects from the medicines and the fact that she is sick. I just don't get it. So I came here. Do you guys all have those problems with your medicine?
