Hi Clearskies
LOL...I peaked into your whine cellar yesterday ;-)
I've experienced, from what I can gather reading some of your posts recently, the same kind of things with increasing the Topamax...its really awful isn't it those side effect you get?
I can honestly say I've really had no problems at just 25mg...but when I started increasing it, thats when afew problems did arise (to complicate things even further, at the time of increasing I had a flu too!) but yeah, that feeling really tired during the day (but not being able to sleep) and then not sleeping to well at night was a pain in the *ss quite frankly!
I'm back at 25mg now, and things seem to be fine. I'm going to have another go soon at pushing it up (i'm actually prescribed 50mg a day) but if I dont see any benefits...i'll stick at 25 mg i think. At least that way its less side effects, less meds...etc..and it does do the job at this dose...for me so far, its been a couple of months.
I'm finding at times i have to watch myself for "aggression" too. But funnily enough i think this is something I can learn to control..and also I've sometimes been over sensitive before, so alittle extra agression in my case is quite healthy lol
Best of luck & lets keep those skies clear :-)
Kind regards
Nick
