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.

Weaning Off Keppra And Upping The Topiramate

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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. His father and him went to the neurologist the other day and they said she is going to up his Topiramate or trokandi.

Hair Regrowth Products

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?

Brand V Generic Topiramate

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone know why Generic Topiramate tablets are smaller than the brand version even though it's the same dosage? I haven't had any issues or anything I was just wondering why this is. Currently I'm in the process of changing from Topamax to Apotex generic Topiramate.

Medication Dosage

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello everyone! Yesterday I went to my doctor and I got my Topamax dosage upped by 25 mg a night.
