i have had seizures since 1998 first put on depacot after 3 years of no relief they put me on topamax, which at first felt like someone had climbed inside of my head and turned the light switch on. i couldn't believe how wonderful it was now after 4 years of being on it, i have experienced the same side effects as mentioned above. the one about dry eyes hits home too it has effected my eye sight more and more. i am now for some reason or another thinking about getting off of it however i never did experience any dark or strange dreams though. my depression goes to extreme highs to extreme lows if you know what i mean. all in all i would not want to go back to where i was before taking topamax it was literally like someone had shut the light off of part of my brain. joyce from texas
