View Full Version : Not sure if it's my medicine or not

Before I start, the medicine is Topamax, 50 mg. Once per day.
I've had a horrible experience with it.

I was given 25 mg. at the start around March. It was the day of our big test, and I was beginning to hear music, but no one did. We called the neurologist, and I don't rememember what he said.
Another month or two, we go in and get an increase to 50 mg. Also, I got an EEG (whatever one they do on your head) It showed nothing.
Now this is where the fun begins.
After the testing, I wasn't comfortable around other classmates, like Social Anxiety. The hallucinations of music and the anxiety wanted me to leave public school. Home schooling is not helping.
Now, I don't prefer to be in public that much.
I think people (like Govt.) are behind things (Oil spill and drug manufacturers for example)
I get angry for no apparent reason, and craves food and drinks at all times.
I've been in the hospital once because of Stomach pains, maybe related to this.
Also, I've been through a little bit of stress for the past few years, no one knows though.
For now, I just stopped because it's really irrating me. Mom keeps telling me to take it, and I don't. She was supposed to call a Psych doc., but its never happened.
I really can't think of anything else to write, so if you have questions, please ask. Sorry if it doesn't make sense, I am a little tired.
Thanks

And the hallucinations ect. started after starting the meds?

They should have changed it the first time, not raised the dose.

Chew one up before you take it, then take another one, but, this time swallow it. It'll calm you down.

The hallucinations began after I started it. Not sure why they didn't take me off. I'd like to stop the medicine, but mom doesn't really want me too.
I am just really confused right now.
