I took Topamax for complex partial seizures years ago. I was on Depakote
too. It didn't control my seizures, so I didn't stay on it long.My sister
was given it to for her migraines a few years ago, and she told me it made
her face start feeling numb, so they changed her to something else.I guess
it is used for many kinds of seizures. Take care.
