The neuro prescribed me topamax because she thinks the fogginess and dizziness is related to migraines. I'm at a point where I'm not really having migraines. I'm lethargic, dizzy, feeling a sense of nausea, and it's wearing on me. The constant endless grind of feeling poorly is taking a toll on my emotions as I'm sure many of you can understand and I'm feeling somewhat hopeless.

I'm two weeks or so into my Topamax regimen which I never really thought was right, but I was willing to try. As I look further and further into what it is, it appears the greatest side effects are exactly what I'm suffering from most. Dizziness, general malaise, and lack of clarity.

My question is now, what has Topamax done for you? If I'm not experiencing migraines, how can this be an effective treatment for me? If clearing the fog is what I need, why would a drug that seems to make one foggy be the choice of action? I'm about to stop and go back to nothing. At least that way I may be feeling foggy, but not crazy. Experience?
