A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I currently take lamictal but have been having breakthrough seizures lately. My doctor has me on a very high dosage so I doubt she will raise it but I’m guessing she will add another drug and I’ve been looking at Topamax. What experiences have you had with this drug?

I take 400 lamictal in the morning and 300 at night. I also take 50mg topiramate twice a day. So far this has worked out the best for me. No really bad side effects other than tiredness for me.
