Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Topamax dose as adjunctive therapy is: 25-50 mg/day PO initially; increase by 25-50 mg/day at weekly intervals to 100-200 mg q12hr. Lamictal dose in combination with Topamax is: Initial: 50 mg PO qDay for 2 weeks, then 100 mg/day PO divided q12hr for 2 weeks. Maximal dose is 400 mg/daily divided q12 hours.
Hope I have answered your query.
