Terrified to get off topamax.. Please help if you have done so ! EMERGENCY !

I'm a 21 y.o female . I have been taking topamax for about 3 months(50 MG) due to migraines not so much the pain they cause but the aura's and the nausea I got . When I got on it , I already had high anxiety to the point where I was ANXIOUS to take it . But I got on it and the aura's went away . Sometimes I still get tension headaches . But I think maybe the aura's where caused because I had'nt had my period in 9 months maybe some kind of hormonal thing . Now that im regular maybe it's gone ? Anyways this medicine has made me have so much anxiety and depression . I feel like like im dyeing and im not a pleasent person to be around at all ! I'm afraid to get off because what if I have a seizure( never have had one) but what if? What if I don't wake up because my bodys become so depended on it? I know it's irrational but , Im so concerned im shaken up. I talked to my doctor and she said cut down to 25 mg for 5 days then I will be off.. Idk Im afraid . She said I wont get seizures because im not prone to them . Ahhh someone help me .. Tell me you're GOOD experiences ONLY !I need some help , I need OFF but im afraid . & yes I do go to a therapist which is another reason why im getting off so I can get on anti anxiety .. Wahh im scared . I dont wanna die :/

I was on Topomax for 18 months, and went off it because it made me very foggy headed and forgetful. (We called it Dopeymax.)

Anyway, I went off it gradually, as you described, and had no problems whatsoever.

Emily, I was on Topamax for many years and stopped it about 10 months ago. If you are really stressing and "freaky" while on, it is very much not the med for you. There are others out there that will work just as well if not better. Get in touch with your doc right away and tell him you must go off it....The only other thing that will also cause this is IF the doctor puts you on too heavy of a dose right away. This is one med that you do need to build up a tolerance to....If you started high, you will certainly have those symptoms but you will not be able to use it.

Hi, I have gone off Topamax and I was on a lot higher dosage than u r. Over 100mg, and my daughter also just a stopped, she didn't know to withdraw. Anyway, we were both fine. No symptoms or problems.
I would just Dona's your doctor says.
Good luck.
