I noticed you said that your doc had not given you any blood tests. Back in December the US FDA came out with a warning for Topamax telling docs to test their Topamax patients for Metabolic Acidosis. It's rare, but serious. Here is the pdf file to print out and show your doctor. A simple blood test is all that's needed.
