 1  seizures Extreme weight loss, facial bell's palsy, extreme hair loss, anorexia, kidney stones This drug was evil. Doctors told me that my side effects were not from the med. but 72 hours after switching to Keppra, I felt hunger again, the palsy left and hair loss stopped. Thank goodness I got the kidney stones, which prompted the switch! F 32 8 months

 5  Epilepsy Mild and Intermittent Headache, Some occasional tingling in feet For me, Topamax has been a WONDER DRUG. I have been on Depakote, Tegretol, Lamictal, Trileptal, Klonopin, and Gabitril and this is the first drug that actually WORKED! I have a mixed type of epilepsy, with Grand mal seizures, Absence ("petit mal") and myoclonic seizures. I have not had a single grand mal seizure since starting it, and my absence and myoclonic seizures are practically gone..my neurologist and I are extremely satisfied at my 100MG BID and will eventually increase to 200MG.
