Hi...I also take TOPAMAX...and yes, for the first 2 weeks u may feel like a zombie until u adjust to the meds...but, I suggest u talk to ur local pharmacist regarding ur other meds to see about interactions.

I talked with my pharmacist and she said that there would be no problem. So I started taking it, but I should have found out the inert ingredients. The lame pharmaceutical company puts lactose monohydrate in Topomax (I cannot have any caisen/dairy products) and it aggravated my asthma and made me very congested. I get so mad that the pharm companies use ingredients that are in the list of top 10 food allergies. Needless to say I am now off the drug (with my neuro's knowledge) and the asthma has calmed down and I am no longer congested. I have an EEG on the 24th because my new (and 3rd) neuro suspects seizure activity may be contributing to my migraines.
The compound meds can really be an issue much of the time and the pharmacist should have been able to tell u this.....scary.
I am so glad u found out and r now feeling better.
Do post an update after ur EEG
