My dr. told me that it was a possible side effect of Topamax. I didn't believe that anything could ever stand in the way of me and my sodas. They were awful.. kind of a metalic taste on the back of my tongue. I just stopped drinking them and was amazed at how much weight I lost!!
I am not taking Topamax anymore but, to this day, I still cannot drink a COKE! Blekh!!
But I love me some Dr. Pepper!! :o)

You really gave me a good laugh. The desperation we will go to to give our lives some normalicy. I've been on Topomax for about 6 months and really miss my coke especially in social situations. I think I'll have to give this one a try. But can you really taste anything at all drinking this way??
