My doctor just put me on Topamax for partial seizures. I had no clue it was used for migraines. Anyhow, My doctor told me that they used to prescribe 200 too 400 mg to people with mild epilepsy but found out that lower doses worked just as well for the milder epileptic with far less side effects. The doctor said he prefers to give all his milder epileptics lower dosages because of the strong side effects of topamax. It is a powerful drug and has been working good so far. I have only had some twitching so far and no partial seizures. I have been on 75 mg for about a month. I started on 50 mg. No side effects so far but slight sleepiness and slight occasional upset stomach. I can live with that. Much better then what I went through with the dreadful Celexa. You can read about that on another thread. What a nightmare that was :-(!
