Topamax I noticed the positive effects immediately but they were subtle. With higher dosages I have tingling in my fingers and toes, but with too high a dose I have trouble with word recall. Doc warned about this. I might try to say something like "book", but other words beginning with "b" will come out instead. Dose is too high.

Increasing water intake is REALLY important on Topamax and to watch for overheating such as when outside, doing yardwork, exercising, etc... Just be careful.

Started taking it for migraines but had the added bonus of helping with cycling and racing thoughts, even lowered bp med. Hope it goes well! -Fresia
