Jenbracha, I've been on Topamax since 2003. I stopped it once at 350 mgs because I was really disoriented after having gone up too quickly to that dose. When I restarted I went slowly to 300 and stayed there without problems for several months (it didn't do squat for mood stabilization) and am now inching my way (25 mgs every two weeks) to 400. I forget nouns and time is totally weird--like Christmas seems at least three months ago instead of only slightly more than three weeks. I'm also very hungry. But the cognitive dulling is much less than it was at first and this is good. If you're titrating up be sure you're going slow, even if your MD has you bouncing right along. Slow helps with side effects. Check with her/him.
