Yeah, my daughter has had them since age 6 but her neuro is allowing her to taper off completely this year and she is in college. She believe the brain can heal itself but not if it is always on meds. And my daughter is of a size and has a metabolic rate that has her never in therapeutic levels anyway. She has not had a seizure in over a year....
Now don't get me right sometimes I have a brain fog. If you go into the archives there is someone else that posts here on much more topa than I and she is a brain whiz.
Now you said you were on 25 mg. Is that what a p-doc or neuro has you on. Because I could have swore my neuro said the protocol for seizure control was 200 mg. but I could have heard her wrong. And the truth is anyone's seizure threshold can be lowered for a variety of reasons so I would not consider you "tainted" just maybe more "at risk". Just like me and my family we are "at risk" due to familial history.
I have been on topa for almost 4 years so my body has adjusted but coke is still flat so I know it is working. But you if you are at 25 mg. may not have that yet. I think I didn't notice soft drinks being flat until 50 mg or 75mg. and that is when the appetite went south too.
