Hi Willyee,
I can't say that I've been on Topamax a fair amount of time (about 2 months-ish) I can say though that during the time I have been taking it I have noticed a pro social effect. Its not a huge difference, but every little helps and it has helped me in that area. It has a certain calming effect which can make you feel more at ease, also possibly more talkative.
Strangley enough, I don't feel like having a drink of alcohol or anything like that since I've been on it, not that alcohol has been a problem in the past, but this is something I would want to take to be more social, but with the topamax I dont feel the need.
Also found that before I was taking the dosage in the day time ~ I didn't feel that social, I tired taking it twice a day, morning and night, again didnt feel that social but still some improvement. However taking the dosage all at night before going to sleep has decreased side effects during the day, I feel made the drug work better for me and had a more pro social effect.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
Nick
