Here's some info on the dosage of Topamax:
Topamax's Dosage and How to Take Topamax: The initial dose of Topamax (topiramate)is 25-50mg a day, increased by 25-50mg a day each week as needed until you reach the maximum of 400mg a day. Usually divided into two doses, but you can often get away with taking it all at night. Topamax's half-life and peak-plasma figures will let some people get away with taking it all at night, but it all depends on your pattern of seizures and how the med works out for you. In this respect Topamax (topiramate)is flexible. You and your doctor can play around with the scheduling of your doses. Although rated for 1,000mg a day in cases of extreme seizures, Ortho-McNeil has found little in the way of therapeutic value above 400mg a day.
