I told him yesterday and I"m really confused. He prescribed Topomax. I asked if it was also a pain killer and he said no. I don't know if he thinks the other feelings I've been having are seizure related and didn't tell me or what. I don't understand why he prescribed another anti-seizure medicine. I'm still working on finding if there is a way to contact the company.
Thanks,
Uhura
