Default Dopamine is a good thing?

I've been wondering about this for a while since i started taking Topiramate for headache management. Topiramate is a known dopamine antagonist and for what i've read, that might be a bad thing.

From what i understand, dopamine enhances brain function and recovery after injury (among many other things) So it wouldn't be a good idea to continue taking a medication that blocks it.

I'm at the mid point of a one year treatment with topiramate but I'm already feeling a lot better and i would like to suggest to my neurologist to start tapering it off but I'd appreciate your advice before. Thanks!
