Hi guys! Very Happy My neuro is adding 25mg Topamax to my 1000mg daily dose of Diamox. Has anyone else been on these two meds together? How did it work for you? Any problems/side effects? Would love to hear other IIH 'ers experiences. Thanks!

I saw my neurologist recently because I have been quite miserable. He mentioned Topamax at this visit but then changed his mind because he did not want to decrease the 2000mg Diamox dose that I am currently on. He said they should not be prescribed together. I believe this opinion varies by neurologist.

i was onthem both for about 6 months i lost ALOT of waight coz they made my lips go fuzzy (pinns and neddles) every time i tried to eat. so just didnt eat. in the end i had to come off of them because the mixture endded up causing my epilepsy to act up quite alot. in the 6 months i was on them i did still have 3 lps but compared tyo the one evry month i usualy have that was quite good. so they do improve the ih and lower chanceds of lp but didnt take it away completly.

but just because they didnt work for me dosent mean that u should have hope that this miight be your gateway to a easier ih free life x

@IHaveIIH tried it for 3 yrs. and will never do the combo again. I opted out for the VP shunt to stop the meds.
