Topamax

I just had a question for all of you that are on Topamax. I just started Topamax about a month ago. After reading about some of the side afects people have had with it I decided to take it slow upping my doses. My Dr told me to up it every week - I decided to wait & up it after 2 weeks (it works well for me) Anyway my insurance does not cover it so the Dr gives me samples of it. I had the little white tablet pills before but this time I have sprinkle capsles. I need to open the caples up & sprinkle it on soft food (yogurt, apple sauce ect) Has anyone ever tried just taking the capsles with water? Or notice a difference between the two? They are the same dose sizes (25mg). It also kinda bothers me that the intructions with the topamax says to take both in morning & evening & my Dr has only intructructed me to take it in the evening. I'm wondering if there is any difference between when you take it or not when it is for migranes or not.

 

Thank you tysmaboo. I did talk with my Pharmasyst. sorry spelling is bad fighting off a sinus infect too so it hurts to think. He told me that I can take the capisals with water & that the time of day thing is mainly prefence cuz it is more of a time released drug.
