I have been taking Topamax for a year now. I would like to stop taking it but when I tried to very slowly taper off, began to feel anxiety at a level that I have not experienced before.
Anyone gone through this that has been on Topa and gone off felt this?
I went back up to my normal dose of 350 mg and will see my pdoc this week and will see what he thinks. Just wanted to see what you all thought so I could bring that to my next app. He is usually willing to let me try meds in combination and I may have to do that while getting off the Topa.
I am also taking: Provocol (daily) & Ambien (as needed). Any advice of what to add while getting off of Topa to lessen the anxiety? It is very very bad whenever I decrease the dose - even if I make sure to do it slowly, which I always do.
Thanks for the help. I see my pdoc very soon.
