I've been on Topomax for about a year....started at 25mg for about 2 weeks then to 50mg, then 100mg, and now I'm at 200mg.....but sometimes I change it up a bit, because it's the pits...sometimes I'll take more in the morning if it's controling my sleep to much or I'll cut back a bit, and then increase again.....I'm not pleased taking Topomax, but I know the others can be just as bad, and I've already gotten throught the worst part of it....Life would be so much better w/o TOS....

Couldnt even get up. I found it annoying and difficult just to answer my husband and kids questions. Meds seem to affect me greatly even small doses. I think I will stick to the panadeine forte. After years of taking panadeine forte it's effect is not as good, but Lyrica scared me, it was like I was in a dream. The world revolved around me and all I could do was watch it. NEVER AGAIN! I was straight back to my old pan forte, heat pack, anti inflams and light stretches as soon as I could get off the lounge! I am soooo glad I dont have TOS as bad as some others on this site, I really feel for you guys.
Take care and watch those MEDS!
