Clarify what you mean as a fair "rundown" of side effects of topamax? It sounds like you are looking for a "checklist." You have already said in your email that topamax was approved for adults. Not true. So I am very suspect of the information that you have. It seems very anectodal and not based on fact. Topamax was formulated in 15mg sprinkle caps so it could be given to children, and was never formulated for strictly adults. It is now prescribed widespread to epileptic children. In fact, J&J press releases on topamax states it is safe for children. Just where are you getting your information? And, if you would study the half-life and life of topamax, you would know that time-release would not make that much difference in the efficity of topiramate. Also, why do you want to do a story on a formulary that has not been released?
