VSGAnn2014 12,992 Posted November 3, 2015 About 4 years ago I tried Topamax / Topiramate at the suggestion of a rather random doctor I met. My experience was that Topamax made me ... clinical term here ... nuts. It made me an anxious, very nervous, sleep-deprived, still-fat girl. One woman's experience. That's all. 1 jersey0601 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newmebithebypass 713 Posted November 18, 2015 I take topiramate for Migraines and as a mood stabilizer and I've never had issues with Hair loss. I have generilazed anxiety disorder anyway so if it makes me anxious I can't tell 1 jersey0601 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PayItForward 207 Posted November 18, 2015 I read the OP's earlier posts just now. It appears that she has not had WLS and is not trying to get WLS. She is trying to lose enough weight to get a Tummy Tuck.< /p> Thought that might clear up some of the confusion. 1 Bits reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beeks 7 Posted May 4, 2017 Topamax gave me the worst side effects, super intense heartburn and my hands and feet were tingling and going numb. It worked a little but the side effects were bad for me 1 Beth47 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
