Ayyyy Topamax mention woohoo some representation for headache/anti convulsant medication

Diversity win! House's patient self medicates with Topamax.

#house md #topamax #(context: i took it for a few years lol) #they said the patient might be taking it for weight loss? as far as i know it doesnt cause weight loss #but it does cause drowsiness and low cognition #maybe he took a very high dose so now he has aphasia? maybe #will update

I did not have high hopes for today... but my strawberry friend (it's apparently a neurodivergent term we both have grown attached to) brought me a very very delicious slice of raspberry vanilla cake on her lunch break and it was just the sweetest thing 🥺

Also, today marks thirty three years I've been alive, and I still don't get the memes about "do you remember the twenty first of September" because... yes, that was the day of my birth, but obviously I'm missing something?

Anyway. I'm so fatigued, but starting to finally recover after my seizure over the weekend (did I mention that to you guys??) and I'm back on my regular bipolar meds, fuck caplyta. I get to have a spa day to celebrate with a few friends on Sunday which I am seriously looking forward to, this last month has just been so insanely shitty and I've been in so much pain so for the love of god, throw that cbd massage at me!!!

Just started topimarate (topamax) for migraines and holy hell does it knock me out. Presuming this is a short lived side effect and over time it'll even out but man it's been awhile since something has hit me like this. Anyone else on it? I already have massive loss of appetite for the last 6 months now so hoping it doesn't increases that even more as can't really afford to be losing weight more rapidly than I am but we'll figure that out. Just want it to even out soon because currently can't plan any evening things (not that I do much anyway) but until it levels a bit I can't be out the flat like this as I'm very very out of it.

Editing this just to say it really do make brain go brrrrrr. I only started it Friday but tonight it's hit me hardest and feel like my brain has just slowed down to a crawl.

I have so little hope for this new med :( I have severe brain fog on Lamictal and, after sticking it out for as long as I could, it just isn't something I'm willing to tolerate anymore despite how well it does work for me.

The medication I am trying next is generic topamax and I am *not* hopeful with how everyone talks about it. I don't know how likely I am to be the exception.

I know that everyone processes meds differently, and I know that horror stories about negative side effects are inevitably going to be easy to find and bury positive stories because people are biased towards talking about negative experiences, but have no draw to talking about positive ones bc they just go about their life happy that it works.

I know all these things. Yet it is still scary to take a med nicknamed Dopamax. I have seen another med with a nickname like this - Side Effexor - cause everything ppl talk about and more in someone close to me.

I want a medication that helps enough that I feel more stable without sacrificing anything else. I wish that was easier to find. I am terrified at this point that maybe that isn't possible.

Edit: Oops the POTS was causing the brain fog I think praise Lamictal

Has anyone had any experience with taking topamax for binge eating? My doctor started me on it and I’m curious if it’s actually going to work…

When they said the medication was also an appetite suppressant I was not prepared for how much of one it was and now I am on a rollercoaster of emotions. Sad, frightened, incredibly angry. I was reading thru different posts on different websites and I remember reading a little blurb from one poster saying they lost 90 pounds in a single month and I thought: “surely not?” But I’m 2 days into my full dosage and not a single hunger pang once. And I can fully see that. I looked at food and I’m apathetic. It tastes good and I eat it but there’s no real drive behind it.

Now I’m just trying to frantically set up reminders to eat and weigh myself so I don’t drop more than a healthy amount bc I’m afraid.

When your Migraine medication start out working fine for many months with minimum side-effects (mmmm tingles? that’s fine I can handle that) only for cognitive issues/side-effects to bust in like the fucking Kool-laid man. I spent five minutes the other day trying to remember the word “Ecosystem” after a customer at my workplace complained about the amount of mosquitoes we have at work (it’s a garden we’re gonna have bugs) and I just said “Yup unfortunately they’re part of the life-cycle!” Afterwards I legit spent five minutes standing around thinking to myself ‘that’s not the word I wanted. What was it? Economy? No. Ecology? Ecology ...? Eco-? Eco-? Economy? Shit what’s the word for the natural order of things in the environment? ....... Ecosystem!’

A word I have known since kindergarten and I couldn’t recall it for five minutes. And today I couldn’t remember how to spell the name of a nearby city that I’ve known how to spell since I was a little kid. I’m in a brain fog and having trouble remembering things and spelling words. Slower on the uptake than usual and it’s embarrassing. Can’t see my neurologist until September and if I stop taking my Topamax it’s Migraines all day everyday. Wish I had caught on sooner but I legit thought most of my on coming funk was just the usual stress/depression funk/autism burnout and previously untreated adhd. Hopefully I can hold out and then switch to something different and most of the cognitive damage will not be permanent. I try to be a healthy skeptic, but I’m desperate so I’m gonna try some suggested supplements for cognition in the mean time to mitigate as much damage as possible.

So, topamax stock issue? I mean I have no choice cause nowhere can get it, but am I gonna be okay to just stop. I'm only on 25mg, only a month in. But I do have a body that very quickly absorbs / becomes dependent on meds. So I'm assuming I can expect some mild withdrawal? No idea when I'm gonna be able to get some again 🙃 was supposed to be going up to 50mg.
