> just started taking 25mg of topamax for headaches. N wants to increase to 200mg. Has anyone taken this drug and not experienced the difficulty with memory or motor skills. Most of the responses I've read on this site relative to this drug are not encouraging.

> I have tried taking amitrypline and inderal together. N has stopped the inderal and would like to reduce the amitypline. I did put on about 10 lbs while on these drugs but at my age I expected it. Also I would like to know what changes might occur if any to my menstrual cycle. Prior to taking the topamax my ob/gyn thought I had about 6 more months and then I'd be through menopause. Is it likely that the topamax will make the periods heavy and more frequent.In addition to my earlier post, I am also not taking any oral contraceptives...I think it is important to realize that a lot of drugs in combination with one another may cause some of the irregularities that some of the other posters were talking about and of course, each person's reaction to drugs are different..but Topomax was and has been great for me and I hope it works well for you, too.
