Topamax ?

Wed, 12/28/2005 - 23:04
Topamax ? I’m taking down my Topamax dose from 150mg 2xs a day to 100mg 2xs a day. I always hear about it being additive. What should I look for? I also take Trileptal 400mg 2x day. No change on that. I started this combo last 2/1/05-I started taking the dose down 2 days ago. I have been sz free for the last 6 mouths, out of the last 8 years. The first time. I'm a 55 male with a left hippocampal lesion (cavernous angioma). The Topamax makes me so stoned; I felt I could try this. I get no help from my N Dr., all he wants me to do is have a lobectomy. and will not talk about anything else with me. If my sz come back I will go back up on my T. Thank you
