Default Topamax side-effects HElp!

HI
I am 25 years old and I have had epilepsy since I was 6. After a long time of being on depakote they took me off and about one year later i had a grand mal, so currently (thank god) i am controlled on Lamactol. My new neurologist asked me about side effects and what bothers me the most, and i mostly said weight gain and not beign able to sleep. He wants to put me on a low dose of topamax 50mg a day with my lamactol. The issue I am having is I ride horses, like it is my life. And i herd that some fuzziness and delayed reactions have been noticed as a side effect. Does anyone have any of these side effects on Topamax? Anyone on Topamax that rides or does a demanding sport that involves slight reaction times and quick thinking? I really would like some advice....
