I did find something that suggested that you slowly get off of the drug-- wean down. It said that if you don't then you could get seizures. I am wondering if that is only for those with epilepsy, or if you could have a risk of seizures from just being on the Topamax and quitting it cold turkey. I am NO doctor... I am guessing to quit it as slowly as you got on it. I got on 25/day for a week, then 50/day for a week then 75/day for a week then 100/day for a week. I am just about to go off of it and I am planning on going backwards from that. I still can't decide if I will go the full week for each dose cut-back. I hope I don't end up with the insomnia. The sound of that gives me some anxiety.
