hi Barb....i didn't realize you were a writer may i ask what kind?
I often kid that i'm the world's worst speller who also happens to make my living as a journalist....so your TOPA-TYPO connection is an interesting one to me. I did actually call a she, a he in a photo caption the other day!! and it got printed that way!! Darn.

I also hadn't guessed about the tummy issue! I have parania issues surrounding being in trouble all the time at work anyway so that's an interesting connection to the Topamax also.

Are you on a mood stabalizer? or just the Topamax? How much of a dose?

TEACH.....!!!!! Topamax is known for causing weight loss!!!???????? Cool Beans!!! I need to up my dosage, like now! lol (kidding...kinda

)

And you are taking 100mg all at once, at bedtime? Well i wonder why mine is 25mg in a.m. and 25 mg in the p.m.? I was just sitting here wondering if it has to be a twice a day kind of med.....because i don't do well with that. But if i could take 100mg or more all at bedtime then NO PROBLEM!!

Thanks all.

Barb, keep us posted please...you seem to have a keen awareness on how this med might be affecting you.
