well i am heading in to week 2 of topamax. and so far it's not been to bad. i am worried about the changes in appetite. as i really don't want to eat...... and this is at a 25 mg dose once a day. i got back next week and they wil raise the dose then,

 

i knew going in that we were going to have to go slow, as i have so many problems with meds. i am allergic to a bunch of meds, propranolol included, and boy was that fun. and while it won't hurt me to lose some weight, i don't want to lose too much, too fast. and really don't want to lose too much at all.

 

i did go this week and invest in a pair of sunglasses. they have polarized lenses, and only cost $10 at wal-mart, but they really help. the morning i bought them my head was killing me, and i had to drive 30 minutes home ( and to the doctor) in the glaring sun. with a pain level of 8/10 before the galsses just putting them on helped. they cut the glare, but everything is still clear and sharp. i would suggest everyone get a good pair!!
