Topamax schedule

Hi, I am now taking the 50 mg. AM and 50 mg PM and am wondering what time y'all recommend taking it? I do have trouble falling asleep at night. I just took my morning dose, a little after 10 AM. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!:thanks:

Taking 75 mg now

I'm taking 75 mg a day. 50 mg around noon and 25 mg around 4 pm. I tell you, this is working like a charm. If you search my earlier posts I was drinking around 4 - 6 very stiff bourbons a day at 5 pm on the dot.

If you have a problem sleeping, maybe take a half of an over the counter Antihistamine? I'm no doctor, but that may help.

Now, I'm having maybe a glass of red wine and that's that. I do all the supplements and the only side effect is the tingling of the hands and feet. I still take my Effexor XR in the a.m. and Tranxene, but less Tranxene as before, except when I fly.

I find that when I go out with co-workers I say, "I'll have a soda water and lime, please" much to my co-worker's dismay. I was asked the other day by a bartender, "What would you like in that?" I said, "An extra lime, I guess." :H

So it's working great, and I'm very pleased. Maybe it's in my head. Maybe it's the Topa, maybe it's the supps. Whatever, I don't care. It's working.

Hoo-Fricking-Ray!

i take 50mgs a day, but only take at night, around 4:30-5:00pm. I couldn't tolerate taking it it during the the day, I was TOO wacked out. I am hoping to stay at the 50mgs, but if I have to go to 75mgs, I will still take only one dose a day. I actually know there are a lot of folks taking it in one dose now - up to 200mg.. whew! Good luck!

Yeah, that day dose has me wacked out too...I hadn't thought of taking it all at once, at night. I am strictly following the book schedule. Will have to consider my next move! I wish the book would give times! Ok,thanks guys, this does help!

I take 75 mg at night. I am scared of taking it in the morning because I don't want my brain to be fuzzy at work - they'll think I'm drunk again (really!) I have been reading around the boards and I think different times work best for different people. I would recommend doing what feels best and works best for you.
