At the beginning of my treatment, topomax made me very grumpy and emotionally unstable, i also experienced photophobia, the symptoms went away after a couple of weeks.

I realized it must have been the Topamax as that is the only thing that had changed and I did not sustain another head injury.

I stopped taking the Topamax 2 doses ago and already the sensation of being on a surfboard in the middle of the ocean during a hurricane have diminished greatly. But the headache has returned full force is so debilitating!

Has anyone else had this reaction from Topamax?
