I dont know if it has anything to do with Topamax but i think i may be doing some weird stuff in my sleep or not sleeping as much as i think i am. i would call it cat napping. other than that, the first 2 months were horrible. i had the numbness in the hands and feet and i could never find what i wanted to say and i would stutter and feel like a dope. the doctor told me to wait it out for awhile and sure enough, the worst of the side effects went away. I still have problems finding things to say and im a bit more spacier but my seizures and my headaches and everything that was wrong is gone. Overall. its all good. I would just like to know what the heck im doing in my sleep and if its ever happened to anyone else. Maybe i should call my doctor. hah.

I have been on Topamax for years. No weight loss. Some memory issues. But it relly helped my seizures and migranes. I too have interesting sleep issues and at times nap through the night. I recently was hospitalized for seizures as I had been on the meds so long my body got used to the dosage. They increased my meds another 25mg and I am having all the tingly stuff, trouble falling asleep, etc. Usually if I read or do crosswords til I pass out I get a good six hours in. But sometimes, there is no use. I would not mind the weight loss. No luck! I would prefer that to trouble sleeping.
