He probably really wants to help, but starting at 200mg Topomax isn't a good idea. If you look at the prescribing information side effects for 200mg vs. placebo, it looks like you would have a strong likelyhood of experienceing some nasty side effects such as somnolence, ataxia, speech difficulty, memory/concentration problems, dizziness, parathesia, coordination problems; and those are just the most common ones. Not life threatening, but if you're concerned about missing more work... I wouldn't chance it.
