I had a friend who took topamax and it was like she was stoned every day. She said her psych told her it would just be for a week or so, and then her body would adjust, but it never did.

I'm glad i'm not alone in that... everytime I'm in my therapist's office I literally forget what I'm saying while I'm saying it. I'm sure it's very frustrating for her... it sure is for me, lol
