TOPAMAX® May Be Right for You
Just as every person is different, so is every antiseizure medication. Because different people do not always respond in exactly the same way to the same medicine, you may need to try several medicines before you find the medicine (or combination of medicines) that does the best job of controlling your seizures with the fewest side effects. Your healthcare professional can work with you to find the treatment that is best for you.
