[epilepsy] Re: Topamax patients: how long did "balancing" take?

Hi, Jen!

Do you mind me asking what your side effects were? It seems like I'm drowsy more than usual--not enough to really affect my exercise or daily activities, but to sometimes make me moody or not sleepy (it's not a sleepy kind of drowsy).

I think once I'm off Zonegran I'll do better, too. I've heard a lot of good about Topamax.
