Hi,
I've had success treating my SP with 100-125 mg Topamax. Originally rx'ed for said anxiety + binge eating (very off-label). I feel like 25mg topiramate is roughly equivalent to 5mg diazepam, for me, although I realize one can't really compare the two as they work differently.
I have experienced very little cognitive problems - my main complaint is lack of coordination and drowsiness, which have slowly subsided. The Dopamax effect seemed to hit me with dose increases but didn't stick around. I have not lost weight, but at least I no longer binge eat. Slow dose titration really helps. Good luck.
