Hi all
I am from the UK and have had a lot of problems with Lyrica/Pregabalin mainly a lot of weight gain.
I am in the process of changing to Topamax /Topamirate. Is this used for Fibromyalgia in the States and is it well tolerated? There is interest here in the UK as the side effect of weight loss would help with counteract the weight gain from Lyrica.
I have read of nasty side effects eg. Continued forgetfulness even once drug is stopped, kidney stones, suicidal thoughts and loss of sight/vision changes.
Many thanks
Scotty
