Also, is there anything that will help with that side effect. Thanks!

I , too,had similar side effects with Topamax. Those were bearable 4 me, but I had to go off it 4 a different side effect..........it was like I couldn't think straight. When I was talking there were many times when I would be talking and I wouldn't be able to find the right word that I wanted to use!
Once when I was hospitalized for a very bad episode I had a neuro resident who had to stop Topamax 4 the same reasons..........her friends in medical school nick-named it "Stupid-Max"!
I hope u find some way to eliminate the side effects especially if it is helping in your prevention routine! I know how difficult it can be to find a routine that works!
