Today my pdoc put me on Topomax twice a day, not sure of doses yet. Any side-effects to be careful of? I agreed as he told me it was weight neutral; is this true?

Other changes are a massive reduction in Benzo's. Clonazepam has been stopped (was 6mg a day) and I am on Lorazepam PRN. I am happy about this as I was worried I was on too much.

Ability is to stay at 20mg but my emergency plan, for when I have severe SI, is to have 10mg more Ability, a beta-blocker, Lorazepam and if I am still out of control I am to have a Clorpixal Acuphase Injection to shut me right down to keep me safe and avoid lock-up. Hopefully, it won't get to that but I have been really bad lately.
