I took it for a while for bipolar. It made me an idiot! Many people refer to it as "Dopomax". Maybe you should ask your doc about alternative meds. Some bipolar people take it to help them lose weight they gain from their other bipolar drugs. It is all a big circle and waste of time I am so glad I finally gave in and started lithium. On Topomax I was very dopey and I kept saying the wrong words - like "I am going to wrap the Christmas Presidents" instead of "I am going to wrap the Christmas presents". It made wok or study imposible. If you take it for bipolar swap to lithium and inositol (see links below). If you take it for something else then I can't suggest alternative drugs but talk to your doc. The cognitive dulling is a very common side efect with Topomax and that is why most people stop taking it.
I had a doc put me on it to lose weight...The second day my eyes were freaking out...hard to see...my vision was more important that losing weight. I stopped taking it and STOPPED seeing that stupid doctor too!!!
RUN!! RUN!!! lol
