PEOPLES ON OR WHO HAVE BEEN ON TOPAMAX, WILL I GET WITHDRAWAL IF QUIT THIS COLD TURKEY?
I know I should probably ask my pdoc, but he's so SLOOOOOOOW. He'd probably make me wean off it in six weeks and make no other necessary med changes at my next appointment (which is on April 3rd). I'd rather just be off it by my appointment.
It's seriously doing nothing. It's just a pointless med that I'm on.

You are on a high enough dose to worry about getting a seizure if you stop cold turkey, as this is (and originally was developed as) an anti-seizure med.
