I'd say my jeans were too loose when I meant too tight. I was backwards - confused - couldn't find the right words anymore and slurred speech...I ended up becoming numb in my hands and feet - they were ice cold and blue and I was hardly breathing when two friends who had called me asked the very same question - they wondered if I was the person - the person that they knew on the other end of the phone. They came over and found me and I had overdosed on other druges and not even known it b/c i was so confused on topomax. This is my experience. I know we are all different -but I was definitely spacey..

Great...more to worry about...but thanks for answering! I too am slurring, and am constantly being asked to speak up...I am accusing the world of needing hearing aids! and it's just me! does this ever level off? I am at 50 mg am and 50 mg pm taking it for BPII and hopefully a little weight loss in the bargain!
