My physician has given me a prescription for Topamax for weight loss support. This program will be supervised and I will see the Dr weekly.

So I&#039;ve tried topamax, imitrex, maltrex, steroid shots, and nortriptyline which was great because it took my pain away and helped with my depression. Only problems were the swollen bladder and pelvis, and seizures. It sucked so bad. I&#039;m now up for Inderal. But I broke down in the office when we talked about the side effects. I&#039;m afraid the fatigue,...

I take 150mg in the am&#38;pm for nerve damage from a pelvic/sacrum/l5and l4 breaks in2000 but, since then I have shattered my wrist , broke my shoulder and have now Oestoporis and I think Topomax is good for the nerve damage but, more harmful for the bones. Am I wrong?
