Hi I been taking Topamax for about 4 weeks now and I been experiencing blurred/double vision, pain in the upper arms, a shortness of breath feeling, overheating easily, bad drowsiness, and nausea. Does anyone experience the same side effects and if so, did they go away as you continued to take this medication? Thanks.

Hi! I took topomax for about 6 - 8 months. I had bad overheating. I would sweat even when it was freezing outside. Unfortunatly it did not go away for me. But hang in there it may not be that way for you.

I hope it eases up for you and it helps with your migraines.

I would check with your doctor. Most of the side effects are common - overheating easy, tiredness (that should go away). But the pain in the arm and the double vision, shortness of breath - I suggest you check with your doctor. What dosage are you up to? 100mgs?

 

Please just check with your doctor to be sure?

 

Let us know ok?
