Am I Having Dementia Because Of Topamax?
I have been taking Topamax for seizures and lateley I have been having a lot of problems. I would be talking and forget what I was talking about in the middle of a sentence. Also be at a store and get lost and just wonder around until I remember about thirty minutes later. The drs say I am having black outs but could this be dementia from Topamax
