Well, I took my first Topomax last night and I've been sick all day. Nausea mostly after I eat.

I called and talked to a nurse at my doc's office and she said that since Topomax works against my appetite that this side effect is normal. She said that it would decrease my appetite and the nausea is a side effect that should go away once my body adjusts to the drug.

She did warn that if I start vomiting, that I should go to the ER . . . which worries me.

Guess we'll see how it goes after I take another tonight.
