Topamax treatment must be initiated at a very low dosage and titrated gradually in order to avoid cognitive side effects. 100 mg may be all that is needed. I have seen it work wonders for mixed states. Topamax is known to produce weight loss, just in case that is an issue.

Just because someone posts concerning their promotion of a drug for children to take, their promotion could be short of the full understnding of the drug that they are promoting. If all of the facts about a drug were known before it was taken or given to a child, then I think that the person making the decision to institute the drug for a child to take could have a better understnding of the drug and then make a more informed decision as to give the drug to a child or not.
Now Topomax is the drug being promoted for a child to take here. But is that all there is to making a decision as to give it to a child, that someone on an internet site promotes it? If a parent went to the doctor and said that they wanted their child to take Topomax because someone on an internet site was promoting it, do you think that the doctor then would change his/her treatment because of that?
Let's look at a little about this drug, Topomax. The drug has the ability to act on the brain to lower the threshold in relation to seizures, which is used to treat epilepsy. The chemical structure of the drug and its history, I am prohibited here from showing in an exposition due to the prohibitions to me from Mr. Hsiung. His prohibition to me is based on that it {might not} be conducive to civic harmony, whatever that could mean. But if it {might} not, then it could also {might be}? So if usiing Mr. Hsiung's thinking in relation that topics that {might not be}, then could not it then be considerd that {NO} topic could be posted here because is it not a fact that any topic {MIGHT NOT BE} conducive to civic harmony, whatever that could be?
Now it is important for me to tell you this because what I could say without the prohibitions could IMHHO save lives and prevent someone from getting a life-ruining condition from these drugs. Because of the prohibitions, someone could die because they were not allowed to know educational material from me here. This is in tune with Mr. Hsiung's TOS here? Is it not that his TOS states that teh forum is for support and education? when I came here, I saw his TOS and I took him a his word. Yet today, the education that I could gie you is prohibited here by the nature of Mr. Hsiung posting to me prohibitions of what I can post or not based upon that someone {might} be {civically unharmonized}?, whatever that could mean, and I do not know.
Here is a video that I think could help in this discussion about the drug, Topomax. There is much more to this drug besides what is in the video.
