Hi Ladies,
I’m currently taking topiramate for my migraines and so far it seems to be working. I am experiencing some of the usual side effects, pins and needles, mood swings, nausea (which comes and comes gos) I’m praying for the weight loss one to kick in. Lol.
The doctor changed my method of contraception. I was previously on the pill, which I was relatively happy with. I’d been on it for years even through my single years as it stopped my periods and my periods tend to be very heavy. The downside of the pill was that I found my (as Austin Powers would say) “mojo” would decrease but it wasn’t a huge problem. Fast forward to being put onto topiramate the doctor tells me that it will interfere with the pill and I need to have the injection instead. I’ve had 1 shot so far. I started with spotting, which became constant and has turned into a period. My “mojo” has took a serious nose dive, but I don’t know if that’s the injection or the topiramate as I’ve heard that can be a side effect or it’s both… wonderful 
Firstly has anyone been on topiramate and experienced any of this before?
I’m tempted to not go for the next injection.
I’ve told the other half who right now we can call Richard (think of the shortened version of the name Richard) that it’s his turn to take care of contraception by wearing something and he laughed at me and then complained because, you know the usual answer “it doesn’t feel nice”. At this rate he’ll be lucky if it feels nice again (sorry too much information).
I find it very annoying that women are expected to put their bodies through so much and just take a pill, or go for an injection or have an implant or coil fitted so a man can get that extra bit of pleasure.
