So like what is epilepsy and deja vus but your brain firing electrically uncontrollably or spasmodically? Mine was a case of not realizing i had a mild case of epilepsy until the symptoms stopped (i had jacksonian marches all my life) after i got on topamax.
I take Topamax, but at a lower dose, 125 mgs (for migraine prevention). My pdoc once mentioned that Topamax can work as a mood stabilizer for some people, but at higher doses.
It it also called "dopamax" & can affect one's memory (it certainly has mine). And it can cause tingling in fingers and toes, plus thinning hair...side effects I have also not enjoyed.
Meh.
