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.
I Was on Topomax and it had some side effects that were tolerable … Stay strong in time you might be thankful 🙏 🙏

I am constantly being told by my wife and family to spend less time on my computer because it increases my seizure rate. Yes it's addictive so I am trying to cut down. Is anybody's family telling them similar things? (it's difficult for me because I used to be a computer programmer)

I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2012/2013. I have been seizure free since then on Keppra. I have since been diagnosed with Lyme Disease, Mold/Mycotoxins disease, and, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
