Lvl symptoms and conditions

I'm on my first month of Topamax and going to work for the first time in two weeks! Someone mentioned feeling like a box of rocks on this stuff, its true, but in my case the dosage increase might have been too abrupt. I take it for epilepsy, 100 mg. I was completely non-functional during the transition! Not only was I so tired I couldn't move, so sick I couldn't eat (I've lost a lot of weight), but I was constantly dizzy. I would often get icy to touch and pass out, mores after eating.

Cognitively, I was severely depressed, and had a constant "noise" sensation in my head which I started yelling at during odd moments. I believe I even hallucinated at one point that the room was expanding. Mostly, people thought I was stoned because I would just stare at the wall and have difficulty talking to them without slurring my words.

It's been a truly terrifying couple weeks, however I've settled pretty quickly out of the major side effects. I think thats pretty much what happens for everyone. I'm happy to have my brain back.

I have been on Lexapro for several years to help with migraine auras brought on by anxiety.
6 months ago my doctor put me on Vitorin for my high cholesterol (280 total) which was not being controlled with Lipitor. Lately I have been having the auras again and thought maybe the Lexapro had stopped working.
I also have a problem sleeping straight through the night, have recently started having strong frequent urges to urinate, and some strange mental/visual experiences. e.g. I was recently in route to JFK terminal and I swore that a sign said "Jet Blue-terminal 4". My daughter said that it was 6 but my brain literally SAW 4. She was right.
The other day I was taking a frozen dinner out of the freezer for lunch. The package said "Stouffers" and I was surprised because I didn't think I had bought Stouffers. When I went to open it it was a "Smart One" frozen meal, but I SWEAR I saw "Stouffers." I'm 54 but thought maybe I had a brain tumor or early Altsheimers or something.
I came upon this forum by mistake looking for answers. Maybe Vytorin is my problem, even though I do not experience any of the joint or muscle pain.
I need to go back to my primary physician to have the cholesterol rechecked. This better all end soon because its scaring the daylights out of me!

I have been takeing Prednisone for awhile now and the only thing that i can say as a side effect is that it makes my surgar lvl go up. Do to im Diabetic.
