Hi
I have been titrating up on Topamax for last four weeks. went up on the quicker rather than slower regimen but slowed down laterly. I reached 125 splitting the dose evenly morning and evening. Then decided to drop back to 100 as not getting any perceivable advantage and cravings had gone. the dopiness nausea and general fatigue in the afternoon especially were increasing. i wonder if the drug builds up in the system. Anyone know it's half life???? In ay case I had an important meeting this afternoon so decided to take most of yesterdays dose in the am so took 75mg in one hit. Well......I was a complete dope for the day. Reversed into neighbours car in the afternoon, became almost dysarthric (couldn't get my words out properly) at 9pm last night), felt nauseas all day even today when i did not take a further dose. im thinking about skipping tonights dose. Do any of you experienced guy's out there think i might be one of those people who should not be on it? I am doing it without knowledge of GP. I have a lot of knowledge about Antiepileptic drugs and neuro stuff in general so am quite confident generally and had planned on sticking with 100mg or maybe dropping down to 75 which had also seemed effective. At these higher doses the hangovers were a lesser evil!
I have also just taken delivery of Anafranil and had taken 2 tablets yesterday and one this morning. They take days to kick in. Anyone have any odd side affects with these? Cheers all.
