I have been taking topamax for around 2 or more years, mostly to help me sleep although I do get occaisional migraines and bad headaches. I'm only on 50 mg of it. Lately I've had more and more problems with being spacey at work and having problems with concentrationg. Many days I feel "drug hungover". I did some research and found that many people on Topamax compained that it made them spaced out. So I've started decreasing it. I skipped one night of taking it and last night I took it very early in the evening so that it would (hopefully) wear off before I got to work.
What a difference! Yesterday was a great day for working and today has been a good one as well. Now I don't always have spacey days so I'm waiting to see if this continues, I'm going to try and skip my pill every 2 days or so. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I've already had concentration problems, I don't need a med to help in that area. (PS - yes, I've noticed my sleep is slightly disrupted in the mornings, but I may have to put up with that.)
