Topomax - Need Information.
I’ve read that there are a lot of people on Topomax. Can I get some feedback on how it is? Word finding? Stuttering ?
Was Anyone On Topamax During Pregnancy?

Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.
Brand V Generic Topiramate
Does anyone know why Generic Topiramate tablets are smaller than the brand version even though it's the same dosage? I haven't had any issues or anything I was just wondering why this is. Currently I'm in the process of changing from Topamax to Apotex generic Topiramate.
I Started Topamax Yesterday And I Am Starting To Ween Off My Keppra. Can Anyone Share Their Experience With Topamax, Good, Bad...
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member:. Topomax is terrible! I'm glad that I've outlived anticonvulsants.
Is Anyone Just Taking Topamax?
Hi everyone,.
Went to my Neuro yesterday. I will be stopping Vimpat 100mg BID and starting maybe Topamax.
Vimpat isn't controlling my seizures. I started it a few weeks ago and I already gained 10lbs and loosing my hair like crazy. Which sucks because I just lost my baby weight from pregnancy and started growing my hair back from breastfeeding
Anyway, what are your experiences with Topamaz? Going to be on 50mg BID
Kindra it was just an added bonus, you lose a few extra pounds in the beginning it doesn't continue dang it. But it does keep my migraines down. The only time I get them now is after a bad seizure.
