It's me again and although it's comforting to see others with the same side effects (don't take that the wrong way, I don't like to see you guys suffer either....just like to know I'm not going crazy over here lol) I started a B-vitamin complex and it took away some of the mental fog and forgetfulness and gave me back some of the energy that Topamax took away.
My doctor said that it was all in my head of course but I did some research on it online and it showed that Topamax may lead to some vitamin deficiencies (which most people have anyhow)
I also asked my Professors (organic chemists--not doctors but who said doctors seem to know anything these days lol) and they agreed that this drug probably is increasing any deficiencies we have in the vitamin area because of our decreased/messed up appetites...
So anyhow, although this may just be my opinion perhaps you guys might want to look into some sort of supplement since most of us aren't seeming to get all the vitamins and nutrients we need now that everything is all messed up in our bodies with this topamax wreaking havoc lol. That could be why are sleep is messed up, we are mentally foggy, and straight out stupid at times lol. Sorry for the long message
