Dullness Topomax?

Posted by Moe on July 4, 2000, at 20:14:33

Okay, here's the story. I am a 28 year old female, who suffered a major head injury when I was 16. At that point, I had a seizure. I was on Phenobarb for about 2 years, then slowly taken off it after an EEG showed no signs of seizure activity. The doctors all believed I would have no more seizures. However, now, 12 years later, out of the blue, I "passed out," for lack of a better word. This happened twice since February. After many trips to the ER and a caffeine cut-down, I was referred to a neurologist. Seizures were discussed and he gave me 2 EEGs, which showed "slight abnormalities." I am now going to take a third, next Monday, and if it shows the same, he will put me on Topomax. I am not looking forward to the "Cognitive Dullness," seeing as how I am very proud of my intellect. I do not want to go through the same memory loss that I experienced after my head injury, and am kind of scared about that.
If anyone could reassure me and tell me how MUCH of a "Dullness" one experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.
And what about the weight loss? Severe or what?
thanks
Moe
