Is a side effect of Topamax stupidity?

I've been on generic Topomax for yrs. & nobody has said anything, & I feel as sharp as ever a little forgetful perhaps, I am 64, but if you think there is a problem always talk to your Dr.

Yes! I absolutely hate that drug! I locked my keys in my car 2 times in 12 hrs while on this medication! The 2nd time I locked the keys in my car in my driveway and the passenger side front and back windows were both rolled down! I didn't notice that part just saw the locks were engaged. I was an absolute basket case on that horrible drug!

I was on topamax and the side effects were just to much for me. I couldn't think right, I was dopey, did weird things.

It was for me. I am limited to using Fiorcet for my migraines. I have been using CBD oils and when they are getting bad I will use aCBD cream to rub into my temple and put the icekap on and go back into my dark room which is where I am now going. I hope everyone is doing well. My hummingbirds are gone and I have a few caterpillars out there that I am watching out for but I have done enough today and I have to go.

Personal experience: yes!! I'm a pop culture trivia nerd & can typically cycle off numerous acter. Other movies, spouses, etc. While I was on Topamax, i couldn't even come up wit a very popular actors name. As a provider, I dont like to use it because of my own experience.
