Gina,
I was on a combo of Keppra and Topamax. I loved Keppra, but hated Topamax, mainly because of the memory and word recall issues. I didn't have any problems with dizziness though. I eventually did go off of it, because I couldn't remember anything!!

Subject: [epilepsy] NEED HELP PLEASE! Topamax (Topiramate) QUESTION
My sons neurologist wants to start him on 25 mg. 2x day of the generic form
of Topamax...(Topiramate) .
He is currently taking 2,000 mg. a day of Keppra XR. He is 7 and weighs
approx. 70 pounds. He has grand mals & complex partials mainly.
He has been put on numerous other seizure meds in the past only to find that
they caused him to cluster and have an increase in frequency of seizures. I
m really worried about starting him on this new med. I have also heard that
Topamax can cause severe dizziness...is this true?
I've had his new medication for over a week now.Have been too afraid to
start him on it.
I'd appreciate any opinions concerning this please! Thanks!
Gina
