What Are The Side Effects Of Topamax And Lexapro?
Hi there, I was treated for bipolor for around 15 years. I was put on Topamax and Lexapro. Using these two medicines, could it make me more sedated and dosile, more agreeable to stay in a bad relationship with my spouse even though it s very verble and at times physically dangerous for me to be in? Just about a month ago I found another doctor to re-test my Bipolor, everything came back, I never had bipolor and for around 15 years given medicine to treat it. My new doctor told me in great detail what bipolor is, I have never had thoughs reactions at all. what type of side effects should I be looking for from being on this medicine for so long? Thank you, Run away wife.

Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern.
The common side effects of Topiramate (topamax) are;
numbness or tingling in your arms and legs; flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling); headache, dizziness, drowsiness, tired feeling; mood problems, confusion, feeling nervous, problems with thinking or memory; changes in your sense of taste; nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, indigestion, weight loss; or rapid back-and-forth movements of the eyes.
While that of Lexapro are dry mouth , increased sweating , dizziness , nausea , vomiting , diarrhoea or constipation , pain in abdomen , flu like symptoms , insomnia , decreased appetite and libido , also can cause impotency.
Hope this was of help
