Hi,
I've recently been put on 50mg of Topomax daily for headaches I have been suffering from the age of 13yr. I was told the Topamax was for migraine patients and the curb of appetite is a plus. I figured, "Why Not!"
Well, It's been about three weeks now and I can't sleep sometimes I feel a tingle or a sensation in my head. I am also absent minded and clumsy which is funny but frustrating. I have come to realize I cannot take one pill at night then in the morning...It puts me in a vegetative state of mind which is extremely bothersome. I also cannot concentrate and ace scrabble and boggle as most enjoyed at one time. As a matter of fact, I found it a little bit difficult to sit in front of my computer. It's almost like I am having this personality change. Now I am on my feet 24/7...screw the phone. I am cleaning, shopping, runnings errands, planning vacation again, visiting friends and family, writing greeting cards trying not to forget when normally I would get stressed and be late for everything. It has really helped me to calm down...I will definitely vouche for that. I really don't like the whole "stooper" feeling, kind of like when you drunk.
So I haven't decided if I like this med. As you have heard from me it has it's strength's and it's weakness's. I will tell you this...I am only taking 25mg to 50mg a day.
I hope this helped Migraine sufferers...
Good Luck!
