I was on Topimax 100 mg for a couple years I got off this summer when I switched medications then after about a month I was put back on it, I jumped straight up the the 100 mg and that was a mistake so I stopped and eased my way up over two or three weeks back to 100 mg again. All the side effects went away except for feeling sick or abdominal cramps and it's been about a month now.
