Omega Fish Oil, Multi-vitiamin w/Zinc, B complex and Magnesium Oxide in the evening to help with sleep has helped my son TREMENDOUSLY! He's on 300 mg. Topamax. Brain fog and tiredness gone! Of course drink lots of water and plenty of sleep!
Good luck...It does get better for most!

Hey there, I take 50mg of Topamax twice a day. I have lost a lot of weight, and have for sure suffered from the stupamax syndrome!!! I had pretty severe brain fog for the first 6 months of taking Topamax, but fortunately it has started to settle down somewhat now. I now take multivitamins and a vitamin B, and follow a really healthy diet, and that is starting to help a lot! I find if I skip one part of my diet, or a vitamin I really feel the 'dumb' effects of Topamax later....eeek! lots of fun!! Hope this helps a bit? Summer :)
