No, not at all. I find Topamax to be a great drug to manage my seizures and mood condition. I take 50mg AM and 100mg @ bedtime.

I do it that way so that the sedation (if any) would be greater in the night than during the day.

But, even with the great mix I'm on, I'm able to function and do the things that I have to do each and every day.

Topamax is an excellent mood stabilizer for me.

I find it also works great for me when combined with the Lithium but that's another topic entirely.

Good luck,
Andy.
