Q: how can i get my dr. to give my topamax??n give it to me if i have medicaid..?
i want to gett topamax but i am not sure my dr. will give it me if i hv nvr told him about migraines n not to give me the cheap kind???? and is the cheap have the same side effects
A: I hope you actually have migraines as I do. BUT….. Let me guess…..you want it to lose weight. 
If the answer is yes. ^&^$#%^&*()()!!!!!!!
Yes you will lose weight but the side effects are SO bad they outweight any weight loss you may get. Now, at the low dose I lost 10 pounds and had only MILD LOSS OF MIND if you can even handle that!!! I was at that low dose for a year and didn’t lose any more weight than that initial 10 pounds.
Later they put me on a higher dosage and did lose some more weight then but, OH MY GOD I had every side effect they list on those forms and eventually had NO MIND LEFT!!!! Do you remember that commercial, “This is your brain on drugs”?
They will be slowly taking me off this horrible drug on January 5th and I cannot wait to have my personality back. I miss me. I’d rather be fat and living in a dark room with migraines for the rest of my life.
DON’T GO TO THE DARK SIDE, LUKE, SAVE YOURSELFFFFFFFFFFFFFF………….
Q: i want to purchase perscription medication medications cheaper is that possible?
i need to take topamax can i purchase it cheaper here
A: If you don’t have insurance, then you’ll find your prescriptions are cheaper at wholesale clubs like Costco and Sam’s Club. And you don’t have to be a member to use their pharmacy (if I remember correctly).
Of course, there is Walmart’s $4 generic program. But Topamax is not available generically yet, so that doesn’t count.
Q: Brand Substitution and PBS (Australia)?
I take a medication called Topamax (or Topiramate), and I get it under the PBS scheme in Australia. Each time I get it from the pharmacy it only costs me $5.40. I have always had the same brand, Topamax.
Today I went to the pharmacy to fill my script and they asked me if I would like a cheaper brand. I answered yes, thinking that I had always been getting the cheap brand. But when they came out with my medication it was a different brand – Topiramate Samox (or something similar). But it still cost me the same price – $5.40 (ie. it wasn’t actually cheaper at all). When I got home I looked at my other boxes of medication and it turns out they were not brand substituted but were the proper brand.
So how does brand substitution work on the PBS? Why do they ask you if you want a ‘cheaper brand’ if it is actually the same price? And why would anyone get substitute the brand if it costs them the same anyway?!
A: Topamax, the Ortho-McNeil Neurologics (Janssen-Cilag in Australia- I think) brand name for topiramate is now available as a generic meaning the intellectual property rights Ortho-McNeil had have passed and many companies can make and sell topiramate. They can not use the name Topamax. In Australia the following is a list of names used by various companies for the drug topiramate:
APO-Topiramate, Epiramax 100, Epiramax 200, Epiramax 25, Epiramax 50 Tamate, Topamax, Topamax Sprinkle, and Topiramate Sandoz.
I assume you got Topiramate Sandoz. Sandoz is the name of a generic drug maker owned by Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
So you were given topiramate so you have the exact same drug however it is made by another company and since they can’t use the name Topamax they call it Topiramate Sandoz.
I not completely sure what you mean when you say they were not “brand substituted but were the proper brand.”
From the pricing of topiramate in Australia it appears all brands are the same price to the consumer.
According to:
http://www.pbs.gov.au/html/healthpro/search/results?term=Topiramate&scope=PBS+STATIC+WEB+NEWS&form-type=simple
This example may help. In Canada, where I live, if I write for Topamax 200 mg tab a patient will be asked if they want the brand or the generic and if they pick the generic (which is FAR cheaper) they will likely get ratio-Topiramate or Apo-Topiramate or Sandoz Topiramate. And on the prescription it will probably say:
ratio-Topiramate
(topiramate)
So they are technically getting a brand name drug but not THE original brand name drug.
I hope that makes some sense. The way brands and generics work is often really complex. Best thing to do is just make sure what ever brand you take as long as it says topiramate it should be fine. Since Topamax has gone generic fairly recently it may take some time for you to notice a drop in price.
Although $5.40 is a bargen. I took a large dose of Topamax for migraine for a few years when I lived in The US. The cash price, had I not had insurance, was nearly $600 USD for 1 month.
Q: False positive drug testing?
My wife has recently had to take a drug screen for a job she just was hired for. She has taken 3 tests now and have came back positive for methamphetamines. She does not do any street drugs and never has, but this company has made her feel as if she is a criminal. She Does take perscribed medicines for her doctor for cronic back pain, migrains, and insomnia. She takes Hydrocodone which includes tylenol with codiene for her back. Tramdol for her back. Trazadone and hydroxyzine for her sleep. And topamax for her migrains. Those are all perscribed from her doctor. She has also had broncitis for the past 2 months and has been taking nyquil/dayquil, and mucinix. The drug test cup was the one you urinate in and pull the strip off the side and the results show on the side, which we have been hearing are cheap drug tests. This employer has refused to send her to the hospital to draw blood or even a urine test through the hospital because of price. Im just curious if anyone has any info on this and if they have knowlege of what may cause a false postive on these tests. Thanks
A: Dextromethorphan, one of the ingredients in DayQuil and NyQuil can cause a false positive for amphetamine. Any reputable employer should confirm a positive with a lab before making accusations. Contact me if you need references.
Q: I ordered a package from India and when I checked it on USPS, this is what it said…?
Inbound Into Customs
Inbound International Arrival, April 05, 2008, 2:20 am, ISC NEW YORK NY (USPS)
Foreign International Dispatch, April 03, 2008, 12:26 pm, MUMBAI PARCELS, INDIA
What the hell? Are they going through my stuff? It’s Topamax, a non-narcotic medication. Please explain this to me. I’m freaking out. I need my meds and I am not about to drive to New York to give permission for them to open it. I don’t have gas money for that. The reason I ordered international drugs is b/c they are cheaper.
Please help. And no rude answers, you’ll get a thumbs down quick.
I choose best answers! Easy 10 points!
Thanks! 
Well, that package is supposed to arrive on Monday or Tuesday… so I don’t know if it’s weird I got that note or not, you’d think someone from customs would phone me or contact me if there was a problem. Eh, who knows, I’m just worried b/c I need my Topamax, epilepsy is getting worse and I just started on a new anti-convulsant that will take 1 month to even start working…
A: Cool down, everything is fine. All packages from overseas go through customs…and may or may not be checked. Takes a couple of days, then they are back on their way. You do not need to go there or give permission for anything. This is not an unusual occurance…it is standard. This is the same in all countries. When the company you ordered from said how long it takes to arrive, they include travel time and customs time in ther time estimate.
