"the first week seemed fine enough at first:  tingling in feet and hands, dry mouth, and diet soda tasted awful so i stopped drinking it.  after one week, i noticed the sluggishness when forming a thought, the forgetting things moments after the thought entered my brain, and tingling in my face.  i also had some issues sleeping.

talked with my doc and she confirmed all of this was normal due to the topamax, and it was up to me to continue.  i had already purchased the month dose at the time i got my free dose, so i decided to stick it out and try it.  the first day of the doubled dose was absolutely awful.  i felt anxious and my face was numb and tingly from 6am to 6pm, no exaggeration.  i immediately stopped. lost 12lbs but not worth it."
