Scoton:
I take Topamax, 250 mg, and it does definitely have that side effect for me. It has gotten better, though, after several months, quite a bit better. I always had a bit of trouble with short term memory and wrote things down a lot, so it hasn't made a huge difference for me because taking it has helped. I never had as bad an experience as you have related.
One thing that has continued, is the mixing up of words occasionally, a side effect I forget, :), to mention to people when they ask. I'll say,"toothpaste" instead of "takeout" or something like that. I just laugh. It is rather funny.
Good luck.
