I was on topomax for a year. At least for me there was no cognitive dulling at all. I was in the best shape, mood and mental acuity, I had been in many years. So just because it is has a possible side-effect does not mean it will happen to you. But then you already knew this. So I am sure you have your reasons. I just wanted others to know that I think this may still work for them.

No offense intended.
