I just started taking topiramate today per my neurologist to help me lose weight and to help with my chronic headaches, both are related to my papilledema. Anyways. I’m super nervous because there are some possible gnarly side effects. Anyone who’s taken it or know someone who has: what was your experience? Common side effects you had? Rare ones?

The only side effect that I've noticed outside of loss of appetite is double vision. I take 25mg in the am and 25mg in the pm. I usually have double vision when I wake up, go to the restroom etc. But as I move around it goes away.
@witchsavvy Additionally though, it's helped a lot. I think the benefits outweigh the detriment for me at least. But each person has their own experience with the medication.
