Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.

Dilantin is not a good medication at all. It causes to many bad side affects. I was taken off of it.

Yes, I am on it now with Lyrica. I'm on 200mg Topamax no side effects, Lyrica 300mg no side effects. I WAS WITH OUT EPISODEs for 2 months then they came back. I have 2-3 month now.

I was allergic to it and had a pretty bad reaction.
