What can you tell me about ramping up on Topamax? How long before it starts to have a big effect?
I've been on 25 mg 2X/day for 4 days, and so far no big difference. I think. I'm not sure. It's the only AED my neuro has me on. Keppra didn't work out. (reference my rather raging prior post in another area - sorry.)
Unfortunately, right now I do feel kind of stupid, and kind of anxious. I'm having trouble sorting out what's the E, what's a side affect of the drug, and what's me just being emotional about the situation I'm in. Is it possible to have a drug side effect after only 4 days on a low dose? The fear seizures are rather obvious to me, as is the confusion after the other types of seizures. All the rest is a muddle. I have no idea what is caused by what.
How do you sort it all out? I think it matters what's what, to tell if my meds are right.
