HI Tam...When I tried the Topomax and got to the 50mgs I was slurring my words like crazy. I felt "high" for a lack of a better word. I spoke foolishily and felt stupid. I actually drove right into the middle of the intersection. Then I bawled all weekend. I came back off them and then it all stopped. I know you are hoping this will help your pain, as did I, but it wasn't worth it for. Keep trying it and see how you do. But what you are talking about is a side effect. There was a page about Topomax online when I did some research. I will try to find you the link.
