I've bern taking topiramate for only 2 days. One tablet at night 25mg to start with as I'm coming off baclofen and I alreadly feel like absolute sh*t, pressure in head, my eyes won't stop watering to the point people think I'm crying. I have searched reviews but haven't seen any of these side effects yet so I'm unsure if I should stop taking it or if these side effects may be from stoping my normal dosage of baclofen...? Has ANYONE at all suffered from these side effects?
Hi, yes I experienced the pressure in my head for the whole time I was on Topiramate but not the eye watering. I also had really bad muscle aches around my neck and shoulders and nerve pain (tingling) in hands and feet. I think it effects people in different ways but I didn't feel myself for the month I was on it. I've come off now, headaches and migraines back unfortunately.
Okay thanks heaps, makes me feel a bit better that I'm not the only one. The eye watering has disappeared which is good, hopefully doesnt come back. Might have been the sudden change of medication.
Hi Blessmummy,
I wouldn't go near Topiramax ever again, please read the message I started called "Please be careful & Watch your symptoms" (click on my account and you'll see it there) the drug nearly killed me and that is not an exaggerartion, 3 GPs never spotted the symptoms that I'd had for 3 months and when I went back to my neruosurgeon he panicked when he heard what I was telling him and I had to go cold turkey which is not good either.
These things are lethal so please keep a close eye to any changes with your body, my symptom was a constant sore throat, but as I said check out my message where there is more detail.
