... ly fatigued and I could barely keep my eyes opened. I felt like I was on drugs but in a couple of days I was fine. I pretty much felt the Topamax more than the Keppra and as I weaned off it, I felt more and more aware of myself since the topamax had left me in a fog. ... (39 replies)
... I wouldn't say that the Topamax effects are "kinder" than Keppra's...not from my experience. The time I was on Topamax was the worst time of my life. I'm so glad to be off it.

... I will tell you though, I haven't felt any rages that felt unusual. But I have been taking vitamin B6 which I read helps counteract Keppra side effects.

... CoffeeDrinker711: My heart goes out to you. Don't take the Topomax if it's not agreeing with you. It also has the risks of getting kidney stones with it. What other meds have you been on? Have you tried Keppra? Try taking some Magnesium, Selenium, B6, B12 and see if those help you any. If you're a coffee drinker (as your name indicates), coffee depletes the magnesium... (13 replies)
