For Seizures "So I've been taking topiramate for 3 years for seizures and migraines (both of which have disappeared). Yes, the side effects are terrible, especially the word searching and insomnia. But my seizures were debilitating, and I was having migraines 3 times a month, so I can deal with the side effects. My biggest problem is the lack of appetite. Because of my insomnia, my doctor switched me to Qudexy, which is topiramate in a time-release capsule. When I was taking regular topiramate, I did lose weight, approximately 60 pounds in 2 years, and then the weight loss stopped. I went from 200 pounds to 140 pounds, and I'm very happy with that. Since I switched to Qudexy 2 months ago, I've lost close to 20 pounds and have no desire to eat. I feel like I'm force-feeding myself. I don't know what to do."

For Migraine Prevention "This sucked. I was on it for my migraines, but I lost a lot of weight from no appetite. I had fainted all the time, and it had caused me to have more headaches. I have tons of pressure behind my eyes, and it caused me to get headaches, so I feel like the medication just didn’t help."

For Migraine Prevention "I was placed on this for migraine prevention. The weight loss was cool, but the resulting high blood pressure was not cool. So much so that I was not able to be put on birth control medication. I am no longer on this medication and still am suffering from HBP. I do not smoke or drink, and my blood pressure was perfect before starting this medication."

For Seizure Prevention "I hate this med. It is super cruel, and I don't recommend it to ANYONE. I have been taking it for a few months, and it hasn't helped much with my headaches. The side effects are brutal. I have no appetite, and I am basically forcing myself to eat. I've almost passed out 5 times this week from not eating enough and lost 30 pounds thanks to it. It also causes severe gum irritation, which SUCKS with braces, and it makes you really foggy and hard to concentrate. I will say Qudexy helps with seizures, but nothing else."

For Seizures "This med's side effects outweigh the benefits of it. Those of us with a fast metabolism have a hard time just trying not to lose any weight, have no energy, or ability to even remember what we were about to do. I only wonder how bad it's gonna get. I've only been on it a year: 200 mg XR combined with 200 mg Dilantin twice daily. There's got to be a better way."
