My employer is understanding, but what I do at the office won't allow me to be off for 2 hours during the hours between 8-5 to take a nap. I really wish I could.
I finally saw a neurologist today!!! Thank god. I couldn't handle the side effects of Tegretol retard tabs at 400mg/day ... My neuro gave me Topomax 25mg ( lowest dose) to test it out. This way i'm only taking 1 tablet before sleeping.. everynight. I hope this works out. Hows everyone else holdin up??
Keep ur head up high.... God bless us all...

Going from 200 to 400mg a day is a significant jump to do all in one go. My dosage increases have always been done in increments: an extra quarter pill of a week, then an extra half, etc... If you tell your doctor you're having trouble adjusting, perhaps he/she will let you build up your dose more gradually.
Hang in There
