Topamax for migraine, has changed my mood, personality should I stop, this is worse than migraine?

NO! Tell your Dr what you have told us here, let the Doc make the decision. Never just stop, you will regret it. Your Dr can help you stop in a way that will not cause you misery. Hope this helps.

I am in total agreement with kaismama and maso. This is a nasty drug. My son took it for the same problem. He had all the same side effects as you mentioned. Let your doctor know immediately.

I stopped a drug that affected my mood, Zonisamide. I was taking 200 mg, dropped to 100 mg for 4 days and I was off. I felt remarkably better in just over a week. I'll never go back on an anti sezure drug again. I took Topamax, also known as 'Dopamax', then Lomotrogine and lastly, Zonisamide. It is the only one that affected my mood, made me feel very unmotivated, 'sad', I was irritable and sensitive where I'd want to cry for no reason. Crazy!!! I had cognitive problems with the other two, I hate these drugs. I took my last "Z" pill July 18 and on July 19th I started 5 mg of Flexeril every night, I've had six migraines this past month, that is great!! I had 13 in June and 12 in May. The drug initially helped me, I started it on Jan 3, but after just a few months I was back up to having too many. Good luck!!

I took it too for my migraines , and you said it pal it is a "dirty drug", get off it asap ( you will only end up more depressed , trust me), you must stop gradually under medical supervision.

All the best,

Tell your doctor you want off of it. You need to be weaned off of it, as there is a chance of seizures if you just stop it.
