This is my first time writing in to anything like this, but I just started taking Topamax today and am curious about all the side effects I have been reading about. I was not aware of any cognitive "dulling" until reading about it just now. Is it very noticeable? I am only taking 25mg a day, then upping 25mg every two weeks until it reaches a suitable level. I am wondering though if this is the drug for me- It sounds like every one is very depressed- I have in the past suffered with bouts of depression,(these seem to come in waves) but my main concerns now are racing, eratic behavior, inability to focus on one thing (always thinking about what I should be doing) and a eating disorder- My doctor informed me topomax was very successful in treating an eating disorder (where 100mg of prozac failed) and has a calming effect. Anyone have symptoms like these??
