Everyone reacts so differently to Topamax. I started very low, increased very slowly, yet developed all the side effects listed in the package insert, including panic attacks, at 100mg. I haven't been the same since. I would ask your doctor to check your bicarb levels for metabolic acidosis.

Good luck.

> Ok, I am not sure if it is just me or if it's just me... I got up this morning feeling so down and it took all I had in me to go to work. That is so totally not like me. I go there, in 100 pieces and by the time I got up stairs I was in 1000 pieces. I was in tears. Everything I said was wrong and everything I said back was wrong. Everything was wrong and no one was listening. I do not think I could have stopped crying if I had wanted to. So went down to the operations manager (her is my trusty adviser). And after clearing it all up I went to meet with my mentor I went home. Took a double dose of Xanax and took a nap. And here I am back again. Already dreading work again... Am I crazy? Is it the meds? Is it me? What do you guys think? I am at 50mg of Topamax... HELP
