Am on all three and in day out of 'll three topomax has the side effects of tiredness and fatigue with a loss of motivation and appetite. And later on you may find a loss of interest of things you use to love to do and that could come back in time.. Briviact and onifi I have had no problems with as long as their not prescribed in large doses. I take half a tab of briviact in the morning and 3 at night.

My side effects with Topamax caused me to see doors flying at me, walls caving in on me. with Onfi since they increased it I’m tired. As for Briviact I never had it.
