If it was effective for you, then why not stay there? I had other epilepsy issues that the med " found" and is controlling - if you dont have those issues, then the full force of it is being experienced.
I talked to my doctor and we decided to go back to 25 mg for now. I don't have epilepsy issues, I started taking Topiramate because I was having insomnia and headaches as side effects of Lamotrigine, and also because I gained some weight in the last year due to anxiety and depression. I think 25 mg helped a little with this issues, so maybe I'll discuss with my doctor and stick with this dosage.

Thank you so much for the reply! It really helped me
