I've taken Topamax for 7 years and it has been one of the best! I take 300mg. 2x a day. After taking most of the anticonvulsants made and never having complex partials controlled the doctors have figured I have a speedy maetabolism that is finally slowing down as I get older. Lord willing my seizures will too. Always remember there is a pet name for Topamax..."dopamax".

I have been on this drug a long time, probably 10+ years. I don't tolerate high doses in medication and asked for lowest possible for my petit mal epilepsy. Has never controlled my small "spells" as I call them but no medication has since the age of 12. I take 100 mg daily, divided. More so that I won't get a grand mal (had 2 a long time ago). I hate this med and want to go off because it gives me confusion, small memory loss, word finding difficulty, and now recently I am saying words that aren't fitting in the subject! Freaking me out. I feel for all my you like me that had to be on it.
