I am taking topamax, 200mg right now. I started at 50mg, 25am and 25pm, and increase 25mg each week. If you side effects are too severe, increase every two weeks. You shouldn't have much congnative trouble if you go very slowely, and as far as that I have no other problems. I'm a little tired, but that could be the zoloft I take also. I haven't really noticed much of a decrease in appetite myself, but some people say it takes around 400mg per day to get that. Be patient. That's the tough part, I know. I still get the tingling in my feet, but it's not enough to bother me. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, and I also take Biotin, Zinc and Omega-3 Oil. My daughter also takes topamax, and she is doing fine also. Good luck. -L
