Topomax Weaning

I have been weaning off topomax for this past weekend. I am now down to 50mg in the am and 50mg at night. I have memory problems so bad I am no longer working, my hair is thinning, ringing in the ears has worsened and nightmares. I talk and move alot in my sleep. I know sometimes I am talking. Someone else mentioned that and I have that too. I get so sleepy and it hits me all of a sudden. Now that I have read these posts I think this maybe the cuprit afterall.

Yes, it is possible the culprit. Most anticonvulsants are known to cause those types of side effects and, if you're tapering off, you're most likely adding in some withdrawal effects, as well.

How are you feeling, now? Have things gotten any better?
