Common Questions and Answers about Topamax and mirena
topamax
I am glad you are at least getting the support of a Celebrate Recovery group, but am sorry you are not able to get "formal therapy" right now. It's really great though that you are taking the initiative to go to that group though. That's a big step in itself that you are doing it for yourself you know? Do you have insurance by chance? I know that's a bit of a personal question but insurance does usually help with therapy and such.
Has anyone ever responded to the original questions posted in 2010? I am curious. I have been taking 300 mg Wellbutrin and 200 mg Topamax since May 2016 and have lost approx 30lbs. I wasn't aware of the side affects and my doctor said as long as I feel fine there is no reason to run tests. I just want to make sure others are having this same significant weight loss.
Oh and vistaril too.
All of a sudden, I have experienced joint pain and stiffness. I found out that topamax can lead to these side effects. however, I have gradually gone off the topamax and have quit taking it for approximately 4 - 5 days. Today I am still stiff (shoulders, knee, wrist and ankles) and my ankles are swollen. Do you think this is still a side effect of Topamax in my system?
Mirena uses the pregnancy hormone progesterone. I had the Mirena for 14 months and would have certain weeks on occasion when I'd get pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness, fatigue, increased/decreased appetite, sore breasts, and cramps.
It's very unusual to get pregnant with the Mirena--not impossible, but not at all common.
I just logged on here at 3 am to see if anyone else had these symptoms with this drug. my legs and arms are numb and like needles and pins, I have diahrrea and nausa every day and food dosen't tast good at all. I itch all over which is keeping me awake. I am going to stop taking it. can't call the doc till monday, but can't stand this either. good luck to you.
I wouldn't get too worried... the start of allergy season could really trigger some headaches. The topamax isn't going to stop all of your headaches, it is just going to reduce the number of headaches you get and hopefully the severity of them too. You will still get headaches even on the topamax... but, just not as many or as bad. So... don't worry if you have been having a headache week... you probably will have a headache free rest of the month!
BUT...
I am not convinced that your symptoms are caused by Mirena. Panic and anxiety have deep rooted triggers. There may be certain psychological issues which you probably have. You may still go ahead and get the implant removed. But first, get a urine pregnancy test done, since you have missed your periods.
Hi everyone! I was just released from the hospital and I have Pseudo Tumor Cerebri and ICP. I am 33 year old female and never had a headache problem so this constant pain *****:(
I know that Topamax won't treat a headache but helps to prevent... But I wanted to hear if anyone had any positive experiences with Topamax? Today is only my second day and I've only noticed mild dizziness. Any major side effect experiences?
Thanks a bunch!!
hello, anyone on topamax? I've been on it for about five weeks and its been great for my migraines but I've been having a lot of side effects! like tingling in my hand and feet and really bad heart burn every day! also get moody and cry. very bad fatigue too. will any of this go away???
I am seventeen and just had the mirena put in on March 4th. I have been spotting non-stop (which is brown and thick). But I, finally, just had sex with my boyfriend on Friday and afterwards I started bleeding, not like the brown thick stuff, but like i was on my period. I don't know if this is normal, and all day today, I have been having terrible cramps. My abdomen is sore and crampy and I'm very concerned about this.
Hi....TOPAMAX is not the type of Drug to take and then stop and take again, as it takes 2 weeks to adjust to the med.....and during that time u will feel foggy and extremely tired if u r nething like me, u may have anxiety bcuz u have a fear of the med...I took it and the only issue I had was during the 2 week adjustment period,...and when I stopped them and I was taking them everyday for a few yrs I got headaches nothing else.....
I've been taking Topamax 50mg-100mg daily and I have been also taking Yasmin. The two were told to me to be ineffective when used together, so I've been using a back up method of condoms. I'm unhappy with this so my OBGYN switched me to Zovia, which I do not like. My question is, could YAz and Topamax at 50-100mg, be taken together?
Your last question is a very valid one. I am now wondering if my eggs were still dropping because I am now 7 weeks without the mirena and I am not ovulating nor have I had a period. They say the mirena doesn't affect ovulation, but if it doesn't then how come you don't get a period. There is so much conflicting information on this thing its making me angry. I wish I had looked into it more before letting my dr talk me into it.
The thing is I am having this pregnancy scare for a month and some weeks now. Of course I dont have a cycle because of the mirena. Within the past month I have some weight gain around the mid section area, soreness tenderness of the breasts, shortness of breath, now nauesa, flutter feelings in my abdomen, pressure of the abdomen especially underneath. My boyfriend thinks I am because I have been very moody and dealing with a lot of fatigue.
Depends on your body and how it reacts to the hormones.I have a Paragard and I absolutely love it....the reason for me not choosing the Mirena is because I wasn't sure how the hormones would react with my body and current situation. Take a chance and see if u want to,if it doesn't work out then switch back! Only u kno your reasons for wanting to switch....but if it isn't really serious I'd tell u to stick to your Paragard!
I took Topamax and it made me suicidal. Now I don't take anything because I'm scared of the affects.
Hi.....I have both migraines and depression. My neuro doc put me on Topamax (I take it daily) for migraine management and when I do get "breakthrough" migraines I take Maxalt. The Topamax has worked wonders!!! But it isn't without some nasty side effects. Initially it causes your feet, hands and face to tingle (that goes away)....but it plays hell with your memory (not everyone gets this, but I did). It takes away your appetite (at least it did for me).
