[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3193198, member: 42224"] Oh man, they had me on topamax for less than 2 weeks. The personality change was dramatic -- and for me, dangerous. It took nearly 2 months for me to titrate back off it and get back to myself. I was insanely angry and had a hair trigger the ENTIRE time that medication was in my system. I know medications act differently on everyone so she might not have the same reaction but it's good to know what to watch for just in case. I fluctuated back and forth between screaming at EVERYONE and uncontrollably bawling my eyes out for almost 3 months. The worst thing about the whole deal was I KNEW I was being unreasonable but I couldn't control it. Grumpy said he knew it was gonna be a rough ride when, 2 days after starting on 12.5 mg twice a day I was screaming at the dogs and threatening to get rid of ALL the critters :lookaroun but the doctor insisted it would pass and I needed to continue taking it, and even increase my dosage over the next couple of weeks. :bigeye: What an adventure ... :screwy: [/QUOTE]
