I currently have Mirena in and I am beginning Topamax, anyone have side effects?

Question

I've had Mirena in for 5 months now and love it! However my doc just started me onTopamax for my migraines but I'm worried there might be some side effects? I've had a little spotting today but I could just be early since I'm never on schedule right now until my body adjust.

Answer 1

My sister is on topamax and she's had some side effect relating to her memory.  Nothing drastic.  She's in college and doing well.  She did have some slight problems with her cycle but not sure if it's directly related to the topamax.  She had longer than average times between periods.  Hope you feel better!
