topamax and carbonated drinks

I tried drinking a beer at a wedding over this past weekend and the same this occured, at first taste it tastes flat, then after a few seconds my taste buds kick in and it feels a bit like pins and needles on my tongue and then I finally taste the flavor of the beer (same with soda), My palatte is perfect with anything else as far as beverages and food goes. I hope this helps you!

Hi...I have not had Diamox, but am on Topamax and they r both sulfa drugs and would explain the same metallic taste..... I also wonder if like Topamax it may be 2 weeks b4 u see benefits...if u r like me it took 2 weeks for the Topamax adjustment period.

ll try cutting back on the carbonated and caffeinated drinks. Although right now I usually only have 1 each morning and with afternoon diazepam dose if I work that day. If I am off I stay away from the caffeine and let the drugs do their work. I noticed the acid throat feeling since being switched over to the topamax, I will do my best to start taking the necessary sleeping adjustments.

Clear choice is flavored and carbonated with no sugar and no calories and is usually about 88cents for a 1 liter bottle with many flavor choices.

Yes, I take provigil, some days up to 400 mg (the max dose). I've been on it for about 4 years and I couldn't get through the day with out it. Everyone is different so it's hard to say if it would make tremors worse for you or not. I don't have tremors and it does not make me jittery at all. In addition to the amount of provigil I take, i also drink up to 4 cups of regular coffee a day.

I don't think it is. I have known people drinks lots and I have also done it myself with no effects.

Wow! I an also allergic to carbonated drinks and suffer similar symptoms. However, the symptoms I suffer from come from the carbon it's self, not the quinine.

I think it's only due to sugar contents and carbonated drinks are bad for your health anyway but i'm constantly drinking sprite!

anything carbonated taste awful, tingling in hands and feet, small twitch in left eye for last week or so.

There is something called non-allergic rhinitis that you may have. It's a reaction to different foods or chemicals. Talk to your doctor. There are nasal sprays you can use. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/nonallergic-rhinitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351229 https://acaai.org/resources/connect/ask-allergist/why-do-i-get-runny-nose-when-drinking-water-or-other-liquids https://www.healthline.

The medication also effects the taste of things for me, especially carbonated drinks. I am addicted to Coca-Cola and it made it taste sort of like metal. It's pretty awful. I also get EXTREMELY thirsty on it. On the plus side, I started drinking less soda-pop and started drinking more water! My migraines are what led to my diagnosis. They found my lesions during a routine MRI, and confirmed it with my Lumbar Puncture. Try not to panic, although your fear is completely understandable.

I had visual symptoms and dizziness prior to taking Topamax. That had increased and leveled off a bit but I’m left with extreme ANXIETY during the day that weans around 2pm. I also have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Will any of this get better? I’m only on day 9. On a better note the migraines are definitely improving!

m currently on Lamictal but considering changing to Topamax since this drug (topamax) more effectively treats partial seizures and migraines. What is your experience with it?

im 15 weeks 2 days pregnant and i absolutely crave carbonated soda or anything that gives me that burn in my throat i make sure that they dont have caffiene in it though i drink sodas like sprite, 7up, or caffiene free coke is it ok to drink these drink without harming my baby its a very strong craving i feel like i have to have one everyday

Hello~I would stop the carbonated drinks, and take a good, high potency pro-biotic to put friendly bacteria in your gut. If it continues, see your physician.

Hi ever since i can remember i've been living of coffe and fizzy drinks ill TRY drinking water at least twice a year and not a full gulp either just the cap is the most i will go. I normally drink tablets and meds with coffee or fizzy. Can you tell me how this will effect me in future? and how to weeen myself of fizzy drinks and coffee? im finding it so hard.

Cold compresses on head and neck will also help. She should avoid caffeine, red wine, processed meats, MSG, artificial sweeteners and carbonated drinks. Breathing exercises and neck massage will also help.

Listen to flmagi - use an ensure type product if you feeel like it....knock off the carbonated drinks and try yogurt type smoothy drinks - also white grape juice....compazine may help with nausea and might be useful....How long have you been on the effexor? Give it a while before you adjust effexor....and let your Doc adjust it (I cant stand effexor personally - but we all react differently) Check out the Thomas Recipe and Amino Acid Protocol links listed in Health Pages here.....they work....

t try Topamax before but what I know is numbness and tingling are some of Topamax side effects. It become less with time. Are numbness and tingling really bad? or u can handle it? Do you have any other side effects? How long to use it? Is Topamax useful as mood stabilizer and good for weight loss according to your experience?

hey I was wondering if i have the symptoms of IBS, i have pain near my ovaries sometimes and I have really bad gas after eating foods like cheese, sauce, chocolate, carbonated drinks, well mostly everything.. but those are the worsts! my whole family has it so i think i might as well i also get diarrhea a lot.

everyone reacts differently to foods and drinks...not all foods to avoid may affect u and some that are on the safe list may...we all have to see what is best for us, but we need a place to start. I would also ask if u had a PH test done to see if ur issue is in fact high acid as too little acid can feel the same. But overall...carbonated bevs do affect those with too much acid....and I am sure there r a few that it may not affect at all.

Dark urine can mean blood in the urine. Go see your Doctor ASAP!

Get some ginger cordial or ginger beer. Ginger helps with the nausea. If you can find a cordial that would be better on your stomach because there's no bubbles. An even healthier alternative is to make a fresh juice with ginger or a herbal tea (make sure it's safe for pregnancy) and add a few slices of ginger. Good luck!

Diet modification and supplementation is a good alternative in decreasing the dosage and the associated side effects of certain medicatons such as topamax. Take care and best regards.

I took Zofran and Phrenegan the first time and they helped, I was taking some that I had left over and neither are working. Neither are carbonated drinks, toast, crackers, nothing.

Your best bet is to stay away from such drinks or any caffeine in pill or powder form as they may be harmful to your health. It sounds like you can get by with the lower caffeine found in the carbonated drinks or coffee you mentioned, but for best health, sodas should be avoided because of sugar content.

Try to eat healthy fruit veggies lean proteins baked not fried and drink water and fruit juice. No carbonated drinks and lay off the sweets. Try to get 15 to 20 minutes of exercise 3 or 4 timed a week. I understand where u r coming from. My first pregnancy I gained 80 lbs and my second 60. I just ate better and the weight finally came off. Good luck and congrats to u.
