 I knew I wasn't making stuff up in my mind. Last night I took my first dose of brand Topamax. Here are my thoughts:

The Good
  • VERY potent. It felt like I was taking double the amount of the generic stuff. No feeling like I'm going to have a break through seizure/tremor/twitch fest. It also seems like whatever the release mechanism is, it's very consistent.
  • No diarrhea.
  • Less bone pain
  • Less nausea

The Bad
  • Insomina. Topiramate had me sleeping like a baby, which I welcomed, but Topamax had me up all night, which is not good for my brain. Since I didn't get much sleep, I feel like a crackhead who overdosed on caffeine pills.
  • Rash. I had a rash with Topiramate too, but it's worse with Topamax.
  • Worse Nerve Pain

It'll be interesting to compare the two at the end of one week.
