Topiramate And Intelligence?
I've been on Topiramate for a while (300mg daily) and none of the side effects are that bad except I'm worried about my intelligence levels and language disability.

My Neuro prescribed calcium supplement for the "peripheral nerve pain" that I was experiencing, but I am concerned that it is… read more
