What to do?

Wed, 01/12/2005 - 18:58

Ok so I seem to be having a harder time concentrating on everything and all my words and ideas just seem to slip out of my head as I talk. I take topamax and I'm 14 is this normal. I'm having some break though seizures but no one knows except my sister because they make me feel like it was my fault. Is this really wrong what should I do?

How long have you been on Topamax? and how much do you take? I have trouble concentrating. My family says at night I turn into a little kid.

My family say I turn into a different person too. I take 100mg twice a day, but it'll probably be raised at my next visit.

First off It is not your fault. I have break through seizures also. I haven't had my meds increased yet. make sure you take your meds every day and take them on time. I would advise you to discuss this problem with your doctor.
