Started taking Topamax on vacation to gradually get up to full dose. Went very slowly--got to full dosage at about 4 weeks. I lost weight, but tried to stick with it because the migraines were so bad, but it only reduced them a little bit. At around the 4-5 week mark I was sitting in my living room feeling semi-suicidal and decided I should read the fine print on the side effects. Called my dr. the next day--could barely put together sentences. He weaned me off of Topamax and everything... View full comment

I am on day 8 of prevpac for h pylori gastritis. Diarrhea, strange taste in mouth and dry mouth started from day 1, but they did not bother me so much.

Actually changed my life. Effectively lifted my depression and has allowed me to finally function normally.

This goes away when I resume taking it, though, and is a small price to pay for what it has done.

These are an age-old remedy that seem to work, though they can burp back unpleasantly at times.
