I was bouncing off the walls. I was anxious, upset, and angry.I could not stop moving and was aggitated. I did not link it to the medication. I realized the medication cost a fortune. I couldn't get normal. I was washing my face with cold wather to slap myself. I stopped taking the medication before the third dose and had a hedache for three solid weeks.

Side effects are horrible, sweating, agitation and tremors are the worst, however excessive talking is there as well. I believe that any drug that has side effects of thinking about killing your self and acting on impulse should not be allowed on the market

I've been having petit mal seizures since the mid-1990's, related to a pituitary tumor. I did the Topamax first and found it uncomfortable. Now I'm using a low dose of Keppra and 1200mg of Aptiom, and no seizures for several years. BUT...it is expensive and if you do not have insurance, it will put you in the poor house.

I was doing fine while taking 400mg. When the dose was increased to 800mg I had headaches, felt like my head was spinning, had trouble thinking clearly. I went back to 400mg and doing fine. Dr suggested I give it more time before increasing to 800mg. So far so good.
