I have just decided to go off Topamax. I titrated up very slowly 25 mg at a time to 150 mg dosage. I tolerated the Topamax pretty well because I titrated so slowly, but the higher the dosage, the slower the speeed of my brain seemed to function. It was never bad enough that I wanted to quit because of the cognitive issues. I am quitting because I was using Topamax as a method to lose weight due to the wieght gain experienced from taking Remeron 12 lbs. But , instead of losing weight, after I reached 100mg of Topamax, I just kept getting UTI"s every other week, even when I took medication prophylactically. It didn't do the trick for me.
I'm now onto plan B - I'm taking Phentermine to lose the weight and titrating off the Topamax.
Good luck to all of you taking Topamax.
