for those who are/have ever been on topamax, what was your experience? and, if you happen to have ANXIETY and/or MIGRAINE, did it help with either?

thanks
If you take topamax, DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS OR YOU WILL GET KIDNEY STONES. I had two and I made my doctor take me off.

It also slows your thinking and makes you derpy, hence the term Dope-a-max or Stup-amax. At least it did for me.

No fun.
