I would ask the doctor....that is what he/she is there for.
If they don't know? Tells you alot about that doctor!
I believe Lyrica works differently in some respects to Topamax, but they are both anti-seizure drugs.
Typically people who start on Topamax start at 25mg a day and titrate up. Many use it for control of certain forms of headache/migraine.
But it is fairly common in children with seizures.
Topamax has more serious side effects than Lyrica, but I won't go into those since you asked specifically not to provide that.
