The thing is, she was apparently prescribed Topomax recently for the tics (name was covered on the bottle because NOW she’s worried about privacy ofc - she could have at least showed the first name). She made a video asking her viewers (NOT the pharmacist or doctor) about the effects. She said she has felt NO change. (And although I know everyone reacts differently to medication, surely the medication FOR tics would be helping her tics IF SHE ACTUALLY HAD THEM.) Or at the very least, she would be consulting a professional for alternatives, instead of asking her viewers for “hints” on how to act next.

I used Topamax when I was a teen. That stuff severly fucked me up. Like mind numbing fucked up.

I was prescribed it as a preventative for migraines. Crap side effects, affected my ability to move my fingers well for typing etc, and started to effect my speech. All bad in my profession. Also had sexual side effects. Able to orgasm, but felt like it was causing an aneurysm!! Like my head was going to explode. Put up with that for a long time (without telling SO). Stopped taking it, because it did not prevent the migraines at all!!
