Help! Topamax dose problem

Posted by gardenergirl on April 3, 2005, at 15:15:18

Hi all,
I started Topamax from a starter pack about three weeks ago with the hopes it will help with Nardil weight gain. With my pdoc's permission, my GP gave me a starter pack, which would titrate me up to 100 mg. Well, I guess we crossed wires, because the plan was to go to 50 mg, which I take as 25 mg twice per day, and hold for a few weeks to judge the effect.

I called to get a prescription when the starter pack ran out, I would up with 30 100 mg pills from the pharmacy (my hubby just picked these up today.)

What should I do?
Cut them in half and take 50mg once per day in the evening?

Cut them into quarters (yuck) and go back to my usual regimen (note, I ran out after last night's dose, so I did not get my usual 25 mg this a.m.).

Skip today and call GP in the a.m. to get a corrected prescription (although I've got more than I need right now, and there is, of course a financial savings there, heh heh heh).

Other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
gg
