I took it for two days but seemed to be in a complete fog all morning (I took it at midnight the previous nights) I can't handle not being able to think fast and the need to search for words in my mind. Is this a side effect that will eventually wear off or am I doomed to suffer with living in a foggy state? I want to become stable in my moods but I don't want to be "grey". I ahve too many activities and a full time job to keep up with.I had too much trouble with Topomax in terms of my thought process and had to come off of it. The effects started at about 100 mgs. I couldn't find the right word, my thoughts were jumbled and short-term memory was noticably reduced. It continued the whole time I was on it--about 4 months. I finally gave up and have now switched meds. Good Luck!!
