I am taking 200 mgs a day..so far no side effects..when my doctor switched me to 200 from 100 I became less tired :-) ...I am hoping he will try me on higher dosage...first few days I was on it..finally felt what it was like to have a middle ground...no overhanging burden on my shoulders..if only it had stayed...

ps I lost weight first week..then forget it..but also on risperdal, was on paxil,klonopin..now instead of paxil wellbutrin..I have been on Topamax for quite some time. I'm up to 300 mgs. a day now. The dose that I finally started to feel a difference at was 200 mgs a day. Eventually some of the side effects do go away. Unfortunetly, for me (remember everyone is different) I still have tingling in my feet, and a "loss" for words at times (which others do find quite comical, since at one time I was the walking dictionary lol). I also, am very tired alot, I don't know which medicine it is. I am an avid excersizer and have gone from 90 mins a day to about 30 mins.day. For me, Topa has not helped with any weight loss :(. it actually makes me hungier. Good luck with it and if I can help any let me know.
