My ques. is about Topamax? I just recently read some info. about the drug saying that it will basically make you stupid? Pretty much dope you up? In 1998 I was involved in a MVA. which put me into coma for 2 1/2 mnths.,there was not just one spot I was mainly hurt at on my head it was all over...(close) ,ICP WAS OUTRAGOUS... so bck to my ques. The topamax I feel it is a blessing but in another sense I do feel like it does make me feel like duh? More so..Of course the word searching is very,very frustrating...

Welcome to the forum!
Difficulty to concentrate, memory issues and ‘losing the train of thought’ or ‘difficulty finding the right word’ are some of the things that a person complains of while taking Topiramate. The pros and cons of taking the drug vs its effect on the symptoms and daily routine should be considered before continuing this drug further. If the effects of Topiratmate are affecting you professionally, or otherwise, you would need to discontinue the drug.
There are many alternatives to Topiramate that can be looked into. Also it is important to consult a neurologist to look into the cause of the headache and for proper treatment.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
