I would be very leery of a one week tiratation schedual. At least from my aging standpoint--I was 60 when I started the drug and already a veteran of a number of "psychotropic medications." M is what, 16 and you're not so old yourself. I think that age may have some effect on how we experience cognitive problems, which include forgetting events, other people's diagnoses, this kind of stuff.
Even now, at a steady 400 since mid January (I think) when I'm under stress I tend to forget stuff easily. It's there, and a neurologoist reminded me that all of this Topamax stuff is reversible--except maybe the bone stuff, we didn't talk about that--but I have problems with recall and word finding. Ha Ha, I say, Senior moments. I'm 62. Senior my eye.
