you may find help here - a site called www.crazymeds.org has a lot of commonsense info on Topamax and other psych meds we've all taken or are likely to take at some point in time.
I've found the information there to be clear & easy to understand, and it generally includes what your doctor might not tell you.
Best wishes, A.
