In reply to Can Topamax be ACTIVATING?, posted by Jerrympls on May 2, 2002, at 21:27:36
> So I started 25mg of Topamax a couple nights ago and was very restless during the night--but it wasn't unpleasant- it was like I was energized. I dunno - hard to explain. But I thought it weird since I've read so much about how sedating/foggy/slowed down many people feel on it. Perhaps ona higher dose?

The answer to your question is: Yes, Topamax may be
activating/agitating.I have seen a number of posters with this side effect.
I took topamax for a number of months to treat a facial
neuralgia. I am bipolar II and the Topamax at the high
dose (400 mg/day) made me agitated and hypomanic.Your results may very, etc, etc,
Maybe the agitation will go away.
Good Luck,
