Hi numbjerk21,

Welcome to the forum! I've taken topamax in the past for my absence (petit mal) and complex partial seizures, but the drig wasn't strong enough for me and it triggered many more seizures so I went off the drug and went on vimpat and that has really helped a lot.

I'm concerned with all the seizures that you are having that you may be having status seizures especially if the seizures are happening one right after the other. Topamax gave me a headache and I felt tired a lot of the time but I didn't get an itchy scalp. If the itchy feeling continues you should let your neuro know about it because you may be allergic to the tomapax. This happened to me when I was on tegretol, trileptal, and lamictal.

My best advice to you is to have a DNA test done to find out what drug will help you the most with the least side effects. I had this done at the Epilepsy Center I go to in Rochester,NY.
