I was wondering if this has happened to anybody else? It is the same drug so I’m confused as to what is going on.

Medication Dosage

Hello everyone! Yesterday I went to my doctor and I got my Topamax dosage upped by 25 mg a night. Today, I've felt dizzy and confused, tonight my left cheek bone area went numb/ tingly (a side effect to the Topamax that I had when I first started the medication in April) I'm just wondering if this is normal? It's like when I first started the meds... You know what i mean? The tiredness, confusion, dizziness, tingling, that all happened the first week I was on the medication and then it subsided… read more

Weaning Off Keppra And Upping The Topiramate

Hey everyone. My girlfriends son is 10 years old and suffers from seizures. Her and his father wanted him off the keppra. So we are slowly weaning him off.

Hair Regrowth Products

Update: Okay so I'm getting responses but none that answer my question. I appreciate hearing everyone's experiences but I really do need my question answered.

What hair regrowth/strengthening products do you use? (Minoxidil aside, because I already use it)

Topamax (Topiramate) badly damaged my hair follacles when I was on it a handful of years back. (I'm now 33 yrs old). I use Minoxidil, but I am wondering what else I could be doing. Any suggestions from those with the same issue?

What Medication Do You Take? Have You Ever Had A Hard Time Weening Off One Medicine To Another,?

Tegretol/ Carbetrol User

Hey guys,

I take 600Mg AM and 700Mg PM, so thing what happens, during the day I have no seizure at all, but once I take the medication at night, I will have seizure during sleep (Only), I don't know why.
