I began with 25mg topamax and now am up to 100mg. I am taking it for classic, frequent migraines. I am experiencing all the common side effects: crappy tastes, stupidity, sleepiness, bitchiness, etc. I can live with everything, hoping they will all go away. However, the two that are really handicapping me are the numbness in hands and feet and the stupidity. I have to get out of bed two or three times a night and break dance through the house or stop mid-lecture and make all my students line-dance with me. That's if I can even finish my thought or sentence to explain what I want them to do. I've had to give my four kids power of attorney to finish my sentence and (really) explain to the sophomore English classes I teach that I'm taking a new headache drug called dopamax and just be happy that the state of North Carolina called off the required essay test this year because I'm essentially worthless because for next few weeks I might be having a little bit of trouble finding the right .......uh........wo......uh....word. My question, and I do have one, do these two side effects (I don't really give a ...........uh........shit about the other ones) EVER go away????????????????????????????????) Thanks!!!!!Delilah O'Riley North Carolina
