> I continue to feel depressed daily. I think Topamax has to go. I feel like just cutting it out cold turkey. Do I have to taper off slow?
>Be careful! I tapered from 100mgs to 50mgs in June of 2009 and felt like death for a few days! Sobbing, delusion, irritable, fatigued...I'm still trying to get rid of the 50mgs in my cocktail right now but i'm gonna make the doc let me step off 25mgs at a time...if 50mgs was that bad i can't imagine 100mgs cold turkey!
Topomax at 100mgs definitely made me depressed, interrupted my sleep, made my toes numb, and screwed me up cognitively...i was constantly dialing the wrong number on my phone and filing paperwork out of order at the office...that drug is a bad mofo!!! Its much more tolerable at 50 mgs but like i said i'm trying to get rid of that as well...
I wish you the best...Peace
