Avatar n tn I am currently on Keppra and Topiramate and have just been told my latest tests are showing major kidney damage from the topiramate. I have been on these two meds since 2002. I have to admit, reading all this is very scary. NO Other Meds have worked to control my seizures ! PERIOD!! Plus I have severe Migraines and Short term memory is almost gone in a matter of seconds. What is a girl to do? Signed.... Tami....
Avatar m tn However, I was diagnosed with silent migraine or migraine equivalent by my neuro. I was given Topiramate and Maxalt. The Maxalt did absolutely nothing and the Topiramate put me through two weeks of constant dizziness and vertigo not to mention a couple of panic attacks. I quit the Topiramate and had severe withdrawal symptoms that put me in the E.R. Blood work, urinalysis, chest xray, and head CT w/out contrast all checked out fine.
1230912 tn?1273492770 Anyone on this medication? I was diagnosed with cluster headaches when I was 15 and after being on every kind of muscle relaxer under the sun with them not working I gave up and learned to deal with the headaches. Ever since I was put on Extavia I have been having horrible headaches and I really don't know if the DMD is the cause of the worsening or not but ibuprofen was not cutting it anymore.
1104710 tn?1258034139 ok ok , I started topiramate for 2 moths now, the first month the cravings was less, and after a month the doc, change the dosage, now I'm on 50 twice a day, I don't think its working. I haven't lost any weight, does this meds take time?? Should I been seeing result ? am I wasting my time? I really haven't been experiencing the side effects, little bit at first, but nothing to cry about. If anybody have any advice please any is helpful!
Avatar n tn How does Rolaids or tums help with the tingling sensations caused by taking topiramate?
Avatar f tn My question is what is a good birth control? I have only ever been on the mini pill when breastfeeding, Implanon, and about 2 weeks of Lo Loestrin Fe which made me moody and very bloated. I need something that has little side effects and is good for women who were diagnosed with PCOS.
Avatar f tn Has anyone stayed with the implanon and had their sex drive come back. And if i do get it removed will everything go back to how is was. My boyfriend is being really great about all this, but i really feel bad not wanting to have sex when i love him to death.
Avatar f tn t help you if your taking medication for your seizures due to me having a relative that has them. It is not safe do to take both birth control and Topiramate due to them mixing up. Topiramate would make the birth control less useful , so it'll be just a regular pill your taking, it won't protect you due to the Topiramate. Hopefully this helps.
Avatar f tn gov listed several studies sponsored by Ortho-McNeil which propose to examine the use of topiramate on migraine, cluster,[18] and severe headaches within various demographics. Other off-label and investigational uses of topiramate include: treatment of bulimia nervosa,[19] obsessive-compulsive disorder, treatment of alcoholism,[20] smoking cessation,[21] Pseudotumor Cerebri, and treatment of neuropathic pain.
931246 tn?1297902651 Hi, I'm 19 and have had the implanon in for 3 years and a couple of months ago I got told I had PCOS.. I was just wondering if the Implanon has effected my PCOS or was the reason I have it.. Also I think it has something to do with it I haven't had my period in nearly two months when usually get it every 2 Weeks.. the pain is so bad I have been in tears and feels like my stomach is getting ripped apart... If anyone has any information it would be very helpful.
Avatar f tn I had the implanon inserted 1/3/13 and waited the recommended week to have intercourse. He also pulled out a minute before finishing. I began spotting two days later and it lasted about a week. I had sex again 4 days ago withput him pulling out. Now 1/22/13 i feel sick to my stomach yesterday, no apetite, headache, and cramps. I have a 9 week old and i'm breastfeeding. Any advice, experience, or comments?
Avatar f tn Flucoxacillin is not known to interact with Implanon, but it's advisable to use a non-medicinal backup method of contraception (condom, diaphragm, etc.) while taking antibiotics.
Avatar f tn I was spotting all that week, and then had my period from the 21st-27th. It stopped the 28th and 29th, and then I got my period AGAIN on July 30th and still have it. This is NOT normal for me, at all. Do you know what could be causing this? Could it be the HPV vaccination with my Implanon? Or could it e because I didn't get the next shot? Please help!
1415174 tn?1453243103 I just started topiramate and took my first one two nights ago and that same night was up all night hawking up mucus. Second night I felt stuffy and horrible sore throat and still a ton of mucus. I'm allergic to a lot of perscription meds for cold and stuff so it's hard to find one that will actually work when me when I do. But I can't get into my doctors for a couple more days anyways. It seems to b getting worse each day. It's also raining here.
Avatar f tn I am a 36 year young female and was told I have a right parietal meningeoma of 4mm. It is supposed to be in my frontal lobe. About a week later an EEG was done and indicated sharp discharges in both hemispheres of my brain. I have been having horrible headaches since at least 10/20 of this year that get to the point of nausea. They are sharp and never completely go away. Just vary in intensity to more bareable at times than others.
1318372 tn?1274234535 I absolutely hate implanon!!! I had it for three months and I spotted constantly and the doctor had told me that the majority of implanon users stop their periods while using it. Then I gained 10 pounds and my ovaries were swollen and tender and I had cysts. Then for some strange reason, my liver enzymes were elevated. So, long story short they removed it after only three months. And, I don't know if this is connected or not, but when my husband and I started ttc, I had problems conceiving.
Avatar m tn I was sitting on the edge of my bed and then suddenly my vision went all red, like I was wearing red sunglasses, and I fainted and fell onto the for and was out for maybe a minute. when I came to again my vision seemed fine but I was disoriented. I did not have a cluster during this last night but this morning when I woke up I did. I'm used to the clusters and the feet tingling but have never experienced the red vision.
1810549 tn?1316475439 I had the implanon removed last July and have not gotten pregnant except for in March but it was a chemical pregnancy.
Avatar m tn I was going to a neurologist that specialized in migraines and she gave me Topiramate which totally took away the vertigo and double vision. I get a very slight bit but not the kind that knocks you over now and only a few seconds. I was also told to go to an ENT to rule out Meniers disease and they checked my hearing and looked in my ear and did a CT to rule out a tumor behind the ear called acoustic neuroma. They were all negative. If positive for the Meniers they give you water pills.
Avatar n tn He has recently given me numerous trial medication to see if my current state and headaches would improve including apo-acetazolamide (250 mg) and ratio-topiramate (25mg). With acetazolamide not working, and topiramate worsening my state. After being on topiramate for 3 days, I had a general feeling of confusion, disorientation, trouble with my memory, and trouble concentrating.
Avatar f tn I was in implanon for 2+ yrs and decided we would try again. Took us 2yrs to get pregnant and we miscarried at 10wks. Now I'm pregnant again hoping for the best. Implanon I felt was a great birth control once I was on. Limited side effects, no period not even spotting, but I'm not certain if it impeded on our chances to conceive quickly or not. It was effective though.
Avatar f tn My implanon comes out on the 21st and my husband and I are eagerly wanting to get pregnant... We are both 24 and this is our first baby... Anybody on here get pregnant after implanon?
Avatar m tn We had sex to day and im ovalating( while) the implanon on my arm. They say implanon is 99% and 1% that i will! And when i say i been ovulating ( im creaming (white cream) like a water water running. im hurting so bad ...where my ovuls located! TELL ME IF I COULD BECOME PREGNANT!
179530 tn?1368936603 I only mention this stuff to you, not to necessarily put you off, but simply because these are things that I have developed, and that I, and my American O.B.G.Y.N, put down to the use of Implanon.
Avatar f tn Implanon completely screwed me up & i was told it could take up to 18 months to conceive. Good luck though, i got mine 5yrs ago & had it removed in 2yrs so im sure they have improved it!!
Avatar f tn I am not sure if anyone can help me out with this but I have a friend that is on Topamax (Topiramate) for seizures and she just found out she is 7 weeks pregnant. She had been pregnant before but had a miscarriage. She is very scared because she can’t find any information on this medication to tell her if or if not this medication will hurt the baby. She has seen the OB/GYN and they told her they are not sure and she needs to speak with her Neurologists.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken this? What does it make u feel like and does it actually work for migraine?
