I'm in the process of increasing my Topamax dosage from 25mg/day to 100mg/day as I've been having trouble with irrational and racing thoughts. I've been taking it slowly , just having finished a week at 50mg, and yesterday was my first 75mg day. Today I am in a complete stupor. I'm quite weak limbed, certain that I can drop off to sleep with no difficulty, and I think the only reason I don't have any irrational thoughts is because I'm too darn tired to create any thoughts at all.
The dosage is broken up like this: 25mg upon waking, and 50mg at night. I am having troube falling asleep - no doubt because I'm getting all my winks during daylight.
Am I turning into a vampire? Will I adjust, should I change the times I take the medication? Caffiene is of no help to me, it just makes me irritable and jumpy, but still tired.Any suggestions are appreciated.
Other meds taken are 60mg Cymbalta at night, .5mg xanax as needed for anxiety and panic, and 10mg Ambien for sleep. My dx is bipolar2, GAD, and panic attacks.
Thanks!
