Anyone who has taken opiramate in the past might be able to answer it,
unfortunately I can't find any sort of reference to long-term side effects.
Lately I've noticed that for several hours or days at a time I cannot think
beyond about two seconds into the future. Also it seems that during this
time I have absolutely no sense of humor, and that my depression nicely gets
worse. I was on topamax 75mg a night for about four months, then back on it
again for about a week in May to see if it really was migraines that I
suffered from. No go. I was also at the time on 16mg of periactine a night,
and am still on 900-1200mg of gabapentin a day.
Any input welcome.
