Vimpat is an enhancer as well. So it also made the Topomax a little more. It does make you really sleepy. It also was the slowest one I ever took to adjust! I was starting to get impatient until it finally kicked in. Did they increase it by 50mg or 100mg? Or did they just stick you on the dose? Build up with it is the best. They increase it while lowering the other. Topomax is pretty basic. Maybe rebound headaches.

Everyone responds differently to anticonvulsant medicines, but it’s possible that your dose may not be enough to control seizures. Suggest you discuss this with your Dr/Neurologist. A little research may not be bad either, epilepsy.com and epilepsytalk.com are good websites for information.

Topamax didn’t work for me so they switched me to Quedexy XR (not sure of generic name). You may ask your doctor about it.
