Topamax and carbonated drinks...does the awful taste side effect ever subside? Thanks!!?
Answers:
Yes, it DOES subside and I STILL take Topamax. In fact, I'm up to 100mg a day and coke tastes great to me now. It took a long time for me to enjoy soft drinks again. They tasted flat for the longest time. Then they started to taste just a "little fizzy" again. Then within about 6 months or so I began to actually get that "ahhhhh" feeling as I gulped down a Mountain Dew.
I don't know what you diagnosis is for Topamax. But I wouldn't suggest quiting it just because of the loss of soft drink enjoyment. I have received a tremendous amount of help from Topamax for my migraines....and like I said I can enjoy the soft drinks again now. PLUS, since I slowed down on drinking the soft drinks so much I ended up losing about 6 or so pounds during those 6 months.
Over all....I can't complain. Hang in there!
