In reply to Topamax - when to take??, posted by Nissy on August 6, 2003, at 22:47:25
Hi, I take quite a bit more Topamax than you, but I take twice as much at night. I take 100mg. in the am and 200 mg. in the pm. I do get tired and need a nap in the afternoon (thank goodness for summer vacation), but that could be due to my hectic lifestyle (work full time, getting my Masters, have 2 kids...)plus I also take 75 mg. of Effexor. I do have to say that I never had to take a nap before I started taking these two meds. a couple of months ago. I hope that goes away before I have to go back to teaching in September. ;~) Hope this helps.
> Hi,
> OK My P Doc started me on Topamax 25 mg for 14 days. Then I am to take 50 mg for 14 days and then go back and see him. So when should I take this? I thought I'd take it at bedtime in case it makes me tired. But then it says on the bottle for the 50 mg to take one tablet twice a day. So would I take one in the morning and one at night? I know this is probably a no brainer. I already have brain fog and I haven't even started them yet. :)
