I also had insomnia from it, felt spaced-out, my short-term memory stopped working and I basically felt very unwell and unhinged all the time. The side effects were dreadful for me and I was only on the lowest dose (25mg) for the entire time. I started taking it too recently (on Christmas Day - weirdly, as I knew I needed to start it when not working!) and managed 28 days. I hope you are feeling better now after stopping the topamax. Hi Claudeminh - gosh what a horrible experience you've had. Has anyone else been destabilized by topiramate? I am worried about drugs that can create such mood disorders, what if they set the mood instability in motion and it was hard to change it back? Or might it have improved in a week or so? Too scared to find out. Its the third day, last night not take the topamax and I am still jumpy, paranoid, weird and moody. I never thought I would be so relieved to know this drug after what I just experienced. Its not destabilising and its excellent for neuropathic pain from meningitis that I had five years ago. I am so relieved to have ampitryptyline as it promotes good sleep and has not psycho active properties. Or maybe I can never try drugs that are so destabilising. In that case, I am considering when that might be, I might not be able to stop working for 20 more years or more. I think I can only trial such a difficult drug if I am not at work, and the rest of my health and life is in perfect working order. I also had a lot of stress at work, and I had a back injury that caused a lot of pain, and so the insomnia played on those conditions. Admittedly I had no migraine for those two days, and I didnt eat much, but I think that was because I was too deranged to eat. I felt so moody, irritable, intolerant, hateful, paranoid and mental. Made an executive decision, went back to old drugs. Second night, second 25 mg pill, spaced out, couldnt really talk, then the same, the nightmares fear and extreme anxiety. First night,25 mg topamax pill then overcome with anxiety, insomnia and then crazy dreams of extreme violence and despair. I kept the ampitrypltyline as its only 25 mg a night and keeps my meningitis induced neuropathic pain away. So thought I would reduce propranonal and start topamax in consultation with doctor. I wanted to lose the weight I have put on using ampitryptiline and proprananol. Hi there, I tried topamax this week for migraine control.
