Tomorrow, I have an appt with the doc (the one which I thought had 'dumped' me). She is not going to be happy when she hears what I have been up to in England med-wise. Hopefully, she is still going to work with me on it as it seems to be an effective combination with so far only few side effects. I had bad headaches almost every day in the beginning, but now only occasionally; the aching muscles and joints is new so it might fade with time; the only side effect that is a real problem is the appetite loss and weight loss. In the PI sheet for Epimax/Topamax it speifically states that you may have to increase your calorie intake as the medication can cause weight loss. And it kills off appetite, as does Lamotrigine. Of course in college, I was always busy and meals tended to consist of things that could be eaten while walking somewhere.
