Hi has anyone had problems when their dose of topiramate?
I have had my dose of topiramate increased from 25mg to 50mg per day and am now getting stomach cramps, not hungry and falling asleep all the time. I feel so shattered. Has anyone else had this problem please? Any help would be welcomed as I’m only going to see my GP tomorrow morning and it could be a battle. Many thanks.

Has anyone had a seizure triggered by migraine?
A few weeks ago I woke with the worst migraine I had ever suffered. I was so incapacitated I was unable to get out of bed or summon any help to get my medication. My next memory after that was waking up feeling extremely disorientated and distressed. It took me a while to realise that I had a badly bitten and bruised tongue, I had vomited and I had wet myself.
