When I first started taking it, I was having migraines and they started at a higher dose…I couldn’t take 100mg twice a day because, like aimless said, I would stop in the middle of the sentence sometimes and forget what I was saying…for example a street name…nothing serious…so, yes, you certainly can drive and have a child. When I started taking 50mg twice a day, all the problems with being “dopy” have gone and I lost about 45 lbs in 6 months. That’s very good when you have extra kilograms to lose, but those who are small are not happy about that. I went to my regular doctor, not to my pain doctor and he was so wonderful. I showed him the report from my surgeon and the very limited list of what I can physically do and he gave me medicines and he wanted to help me so much until I feel better, even though he knew it will take months to treat my disc. It was a relief. He said I could take Lyrica too…I may do that too because it helped me with some other problems before and now that I have more “nerve” pain I think it will help me too. If you have any more questions about Topamax, just ask…
