Thanks Tinner…unfortunately I thought I had a specialist referral but he wasn’t accepting patients. I am up to 100 mg of topiramate 50 mg morning and then again in the evening going on about 4 weeks now at this dose and my vision is still very blurred and my brain fog is still not good. Until I get these two things cleared up I still can’t drive or work which is making me crazy. I also have some balance issues intermittently which I find is weather and stress related for sure. I know I am not resting enough either as you mentioned sleep is crucial. I am going back to my family doctor on Friday and asking if he will prescribe nortryptoline to help with sleep and the depression and anxiety that the topiramate is causing. It’s nice to know we are not alone and I also with you well 
suggest you go for amitriptyline as that is better for sleep
Thanks turnitaround but I have heard that it causes weight gain and I already have issues with that 
Yeah, I have experienced that a bit, partly why I’ve kept to a lowish 20mg, but I still try to run 3 times a week. The sleepy effect is good though as it even works when tinnitus is bad!
Thanks for your suggestion
