A member asked:
I recently started back on 100mg of topomax for headaches and i am extremely lightheaded...should i have started low and builded back up?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Suggest: Might tolerate better with more consistent effect, by taking 50 mg twice daily.

Maybe: Topiramate is a great medication for headaches!! Unfortunately, it can result in side effects. I would call the doctor that prescribed you the medication to seek their advice. I sometimes change the patient to extended release (if there is not an insurance problem), use a lower dose, or change to an alternative.
