I had to stop taking Topamax because it destroyed my life...life-long friends and my long-term relationship all fell apart because of my extreme pessimism which was not me. I actually gained quite a bit of weight. Also, I had very obvious intellectual problems. I have been off of it for over a year and have just realized my moods are completely different from before the drug and my memory is nothing like it used to be. I am concerned about long-term side effects even after stopping Topamax......
