"i&#039;ve been taking topamax for two months and the weight loss is great, but that&#039;s because everything taste&#039;s gross. i&#039;m tired a lot and have to work hard to focus. but i can finally sleep at night and feel rested. after reading some of the other comments i now understand why my fingertips sometimes feel numb or weird. i&#039;m still not sure if the weight loss, better sleep are worth the disgusting taste in my mouth and the feeling sometimes that i just want to burst into tears (although that could be just because i work so hard and i&#039;m still broke)."
