Default Topiramate vs Naltrexone

Hi, i am new to this and I am looking at the MWO program. Please give me feeed back on your expriences. Also, I was wondering what everyones thoughts are on Topiramate vs Naltrexone. I am concerned that the Topiramate has had the side effect of causing blindness.
Please let me know what you know about dosage on these medications.
thank you

Hi Zoey,
I do not remember blindness being a side effect of Topamax. I took it for about 2 months, in the dosage recommended by the MWO book, which you should read. It starts at 25 mg and you work your way up. It is an expensive medication, however, and I'm not taking it anymore because of that. One other common side effect is tingling in hands and feet, like they are asleep. It kinda bugged me but others don't mind it. You can read thru posts on the "Topamax...and other meds" forum. I have never taken Naltrexone so can't help you there. Hope this info helps a bit.
