topamax message boards

I'm new to this app and I just realized there were message boards.. I'm wondering if the boards are designed to go By your weeks or age? Sorry If I sound like an idiot but I was just checking..

t see Lyme as a truly serious illness may try to cause trouble for MDs who *do* take Lyme very seriously, and the result could be problems for the Lyme docs with the state medical boards. (The medical boards tend to hold to the old belief that Lyme is no big deal.) Over time, the medical profession will work itself out, but for now, please do NOT post names of any MDs here, in order to protect them.

I'm on Topamax. I hope this isn't something that I have to look forward too.

Check out the message boards on these 2 websites for CPAP related questions. The boards here are very active. I think I've read this problem on those boards before. www.cpaptalk.com www.apneasupport.

What help is there to stop this now. Increase topamax or what? Help these hurt and makes it very hard to deal with going to work and family life. Family doctor is doing lab work on my in about 3 wks for this when he rechecks my synthroid levels. But that can seem so far away.

Oh, and here is a message board for ALS. Maybe it will help you to hear other stories and see if they match yours. http://www.************.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?

I guess all people care about on these message boards are their STDs.

I'm wondering if anyone knows a good place--a free place--to chat about womens health topics. I'm not talking about message boards. I have a few questions that I just cannot get answered and was hoping if maybe there was somewhere that I could actually talk to someone and see if they can help me. Thanks for your help I'm really confused right now.

I've tried Topamax and had really great results with all of my disorders - bulimia, drinking, depression. It even caused me to lose weight, which I loved of course. The side effects, however, can be pretty rough. Go to www.mywayout.org for more information or just google topamax. My Way Out is mostly for drinkers because topa has shown to be very helpful in that area. The worst side effect for me on topa was feeling extremely irritable.

Just keep googling and searching but stick to the more commendable sites and steer clear from answers on message boards because those are opinions and not scientific research.

Yoga would help you tone your body from the inside out without 'large' muscle buliding.

Are you familiar with the 'private message' function on this website? I can send you a recommendation there, since we keep our doc's names out of the public area of this site, to protect our Lyme docs -- in some jurisdictions, the Lyme docs need to keep very very quiet to avoid the state and local medical boards from trying to shut the docs down.

can I? post a new message to the other Heart Rhythm medical questions board. Do I need to create a whole new profile? Use another email and password? Seems that way but hoping I am wrong and someone can give me a clue here:-) Thanks!

I suffer from chronic daily headaches and take upwards of 12 or more fioricet a day as well as topamax and effexor for prevention of migraines. Since my doctor will only prescribe up to 6 fioricet per day, I have resorted to orderly brand fioricet online as $200 for 90 tablets. My questions are how to detox at home off fioricet - should I take 12 tabs, then 11 the next day, then 10 the next day or what? Also, is it illegal to get fioricet from my doctor as well as ordering online?

But the Topamax helped with that and the pain went away again. I was on Topamax until the end of September and there was no pain during that time. Then I stopped taking Topamax (doctor's orders-side effects were terrible) and waited. There were small headaches between then and November 28, 2010, when the migraine came back, and it hasn't gone away yet. Oh, and I'm a 22-year-old student teacher 1200 miles from my doctor. I have been on Verapamil for a little over 2 months now.

Hey Trudie, She answered a message a few weeks ago from me telling me she feels a lot better and she's getting out and about. She said with her kids being back in school she's not getting too much time on the computer. I sent her another message last week and no answer yet, so I guess the homework brigade has taken over for now.

But when you clutter your message up with personal feelings and negative emotions, it taints that message and the end result is you will not be heard. First, because an angry message, especially directed at another user, will ensure that that user will NOT listen to what you have to say. It only ensures that you will put them on the defensive which means they have closed their mind to the possibility of your viewpoint. Second, because the post will get deleted and not seen by ANYBODY.

I really don't fully understand how these boards work but posts from 2-3 years ago still show up. I have noticed lately, many are adding to or responding to a lot of these. Granted, some would be good to read for someone possibly addressing issues that have been discussed before. However, some things may go unanswered due to the old dates. To get the best responses, I suggest you start a new and current post on the topics you wish to discuss.

As I said before, I have been taking topamax- am at 100 mgs. I go on these boards to find answers and it scares me to read about all of the people who have been experiencing migraines for 10 years, 20 years. it's actually very frightening!! I am only 29 years old, been having headaches on and off for about 2 and it's very anxiety provoking to read certain people's stories who have not found answers after x amount of years... ya know?

The cognitive difficulties are most likely the Topamax. It's known for giving some people a major case of the stupids. Write down your difficulties and contact your doctor about them. See if you can email or fax them a copy to make sure you don't forget to bring it, or put it in your purse well before the appointment. Depending on your dose, the buspirone could be contributing to the effects as well, but the Topamax is probably the main offender. Do not try to stop it yourself.

If you have a sensation in your ear, it's very important that you see a doctor to have this evaluated. It's difficult to arrive at an educated guess because other factors are not included in your post - duration, previous ear problems, frequency, lifestyle (do you go swimming often?

Hello everyone. My mom has been suffering from severe leg pain for at least 5 years. It has gotten worse and now she is at the point where she can only walk a few feet before needing to take a break. She can't sit long either due to pressure on the back of her thigh. She has pain and numbness from her left buttock down her thigh, calf, and to her toes. Her ankle feels extremely tight. We have seen so many specialists to determine what's going on.

I was so happy to find out that there are message boards out there that I can use to connect with others who have afib. I saw a cardiologist for the first time two weeks ago. He put me on Pradaxa 150 mg 2X a day. Is there anyone on here who takes pradaxa/coumadin/other blood thinners who also has a family history of aneurysms? If so, did your doctor put you on a lower dose because of it? Aneurysms run in my family (father, grandmother, great-grandmother, cousin, uncle).
