I know, a scary drug to start. But my neuro has been suggesting it for a while. I refused for a long time, and he understood and never pushed it on me. But now I'm getting desperate.
I have petit mals and myoclonus. Keppra XR did amazing things for me. I was almost 100% seizure free on the lowest dose. The only side effect I had was anxiety. I already have GAD, so it just sort of upped it.
I've tried Lamictal XR since, which made my seizures more common. I have tried Lyrica as well, which really didn't do much.
I have migraines too. So he thinks Topamax is worth a try. I'm educated on the side effects and I can call him as soon as I think I'm having any, and he won't hesitate to switch me to something else.
I was wondering if anyone has any good experiences with Topamax? All I hear are horror stories of drugs and no benefits. Just curious if it's helped anyone.
Thanks!
