Topomax is Sketchy...not fun
So this is my first post ever so bear with me. I actually came out of the woodwork just to respond to this question. I have the marked (dis)/advantage of not only taking just about every imaginable black/grey area substance abused at; clubs, festivals, fuck man in the lots for the people who can't afford tickets to shows, but I've also in the tenure of my drug abusant life have been prescribed just about every psych med their is with the exception of phenobarbital (goddamn it). Anyway about two weeks ago a new and eager psychiatrist wanted to cut down my benzo intake by adding "topomax", she said this would do fundamentally the same thing without addiction but may cause "spaciness". So whatever when a doctor halves your klonopins your kinda bent over the pickle barrel until further notice. So I started taking it, the one thing I can say say without out a shadow of a doubt from the viewpoint of a senior drug abuser is their is no potential for a "high" here. You feel dumb and in my case become so social-phobic you become afraid to leave your own home. Any way The medicine builds in your system in your system over time and the spaciness becomes more pronounced and as was the case with me and what happened was; I parked my car at a local library and after sometime left, WALKED HOME, went to bed, awoke the day, and discovered my car missing only to fly into a paranoid rage call 911 and REPORT MY CAR as stolen. I later went to the library to get my shit together and only upon leaving did I see my car and suddenly remember WHAT A DUMB ASS I AM. Then I had the supreme joy of going into the police and explaining to them that my meds made me walk past my own car and report it stolen, but it all good now. I wonder if they'll search me if I get pulled over or they see me merking down the sidewalk. Long story short, stay the fudge away from topomax! I wasn't even tryin to get high and it made a douchbag out of me, I can't imagine what it would do to a recreational user user ..warcrimes?..pedophilia..I'm not tryin to be overly sarcastic or dramatic and I'm making up 0% of this, this shit can cause blackouts, so dude just be careful!
