First, I have no idea if drowsiness is a s/e of Topamax, but I bet someone on here knows!
Second, I would echo the question raised by linkadge - could your symptoms be from depression (I get the exact way you described when I in a bad depression) -- if this is the case, then it is obvious (cuz you're on a VERY high dose and it has been about a month) that EffexorXR is NOT working for you and you may need to try another a-d.
However, EffexorXR must be weaned off SLOWLY and GRADUALLY, especially for you at such a high level. Don't let that scare you; it's just that EffexorXR has a short half life so going off it can create withdrawal if not done slowly.
The a-d I'd suggest given what you wrote would be Wellbutrin because it is supposed to be activating. There are also plenty of SSRI's to try.
Good luckk 2 U.
