Thanks for yor insight and help!

Neurologist only prescribes 400mg when pain is insane excruciating to me, the most he prescribed was morning / night for 3 days. It did help, a lot. However, those side efects have never gone away in every time It's been prescribed to me.

Currently 3 months with Topamax, and I must say the first month was hell to me, and according to my neurologist that's somewhat normal? that those funky effects the meds give last about a month or so, so if they do last longer make sure to let your doctor know about this.
