Hi there, I have the typical side effects - dizziness, constant nausea, sweating, lots of urination (like 6x in 2 hours lots), tiredness, lower back pain, etc. But lately, I have also been getting seizure like convulsions since taking 75mg-100mg a day. Originally, I was taking topirimate for migrainea and what my neurologist beleives are absent seizures. The absent seizures have mainly faded (went from 20-30 a day to 0-5 a day) but since reaching 75 mg all the side effects have gotten worse! I now have these convulsions and interrupted sleep. When I was taking smaller doses of the meds, I would sleep perfectly through the night (previously I would be jarred awake every 2-3 hours, possibly seizures during my sleep). Has anyone else had these sort of issues with increased doses? Wondering if these issues are because I am taking 100mg at nighttime rather than the two seperate doses like most who use it for antiseizure purposes. I am feeling so horrible on these meds I am going to start tapering myself off while my neurologist is away on vacation...
