Topamax Side Affects!

Sabina,
I WILL keep you in my thoughts!! :O) I cut my dosage back down to 37gms a day (1 1/2 pill) in the am and I feel much better today! I can think and count today and I am hoping I will be able to sleep tonight. My lungs still hurt a little but not as much. I think I much have just upped the dosage too fast.

I started out with 25 mgs a day, (I cut a pill in half and took one half in the am and one half in the pm) for a week. The next three days I took one full one in the am and one full one in the pm (50 mgs daily). Then after only three days I increased it to one and a half in the am and one and a half in the pm, (75 mgs daily) hoping to rush up to 200 mgs by my next pdoc visit.

I'm going to stay at 25 until my next pdoc visit and talk with him about the side affects because I can't be losing my car in a parking structure and getting lost on the freeway because I can't think with this drug! It made it so I was almost so unable to count my change!

I was really hoping that this was going to be the drug that was going to help me get well... I'm not so sure now.... :O(

I have 140 pounds to lose and I desperately need a job and need to get control of this Bi-Polar so I need to find something that will work!
