Hi rainee,
You're doing the exact right thing...backing up a bit and going a little slower. Topa causes some people a lot of anxiety, so taking it slower really really helps. I had the exact opposite problem - it literally zonked me out! I could not keep my eyes open! But after about 2 weeks it totally wore off, and I did great. I don't take it anymore (I've actually started Zonegran, and it's so much less problematic, but has the same benefits as Topa [including the weight loss!] and I'm really happy with it so far) but I took it for 6 months and did fairly well...just couldn't handle the severe acne and mind-numbing inability to come up with the most simple of words!Good luck to you!
