So far, I'm a few days into the transition. 20 mg of amitriptyline and 25 mg of topamax. I feel very sleepy and dizzy, similar to the way I felt when starting amitriptyline. Can't wake up. Go blank and dizzy every time I stand up.
On the bright side, no headaches. On the downside, I can't do anything that might possibly cause a headache.
With the amitriptyline, this lasted a few days and then got better. Should I expect it to improve over time with topamax as well? Or am I stuck this way?
