Lynne,
I take Topamax in the a.m. and p.m. and now that I am at my "target dose" 400mg/day I do not find it to be either sedating or stimulating. I find that it evens my mood.
During the period that my dosage was being titrated, I did have some drowsniness but that has passed. I cannot speak to other's experience.
I was on Lamictal for a year and because of the circumstances of a inexperienced psydoc who kept changing dosages and adding and taking away other meds, I was a mess.
I never did stabilize on Lamictal. So I cannot truly make an accurate comparision.
Good Luck,
Montana
