I was put on topomax for extreme migraines. Turned out a side effect was zero appetite.
Unfortunately another side effect was to lose of about 60 iq points.
Loved the weight loss. Missed having a brain.
Like staying up 30 hours. But not feeling tired. You can function. But higher concepts are not possible. A “for loop” was very challenging.
Also you make a lot of really stupid decisions.
Once I was hacking out of house and noticed garbage can needed put away. So I got out of car while driving away. Promptly got caught on seatbelt and got dragged away.
Stopped driving until I was off that Medication.
The alternate med. Diamox makes me sleepy. But otherwise Doesn’t make me dumb.
I know people that do great on topomax. But it has a reputation
