I'm just about finished a very slow complete taper off Topamax that I've been on for many years as a migraine/chronic headache preventative. Topamax is known to frustrate cognition, so I wanted to see how improved I really am without any dumbing down by Topamax. Provided the migraines and headaches don't return to their previous frequency I will stay off the Topamax because I'm feeling better each day.

I experienced significant anxiety and agitation on Zoloft as well; I never made it past 50mg.
Do you find that Brintellix interferes with your emotional range at all?
