A member asked:

Instead of taking topamax (topiramate) 50mg twice daily, can i take two tablets at bedtime? i have to drive my daughter to school and it makes me feel groggy.

No: Topamax (topiramate) is dosed twice a day as it starts leaving your system after 12 hours. If you are groggy during the day speak with your doctor about an alternative form of the medicine.
