Whenever I forget a word now I just laugh and call it my "topamax brain". Lol. It's nothing serious. Just names of certain places. It doesn't affect my writing or anything, so I don't really care. I take mine all at night. Sucks you wake up in the middle of the night hungry! It finally just started working for me against my hunger a little bit, though I was thinking about asking if I could take 50mg in the morning too. Idk though.
