Hey Keke: I'm not a "smaller girl" but took Topa for 6 months and am trying this month off it. I didn't feel tired or queasy on Topa, but did have the tingling in my hands (and sometimes feet) and trouble wordfinding, which eventually wore off. I found each time I upped the dose initially the tingly's reappeared for a week or so. I ended up @ 25mg in the AM and 50 mg at 5-6 PM.
I just wanted to say that the suggested Topa doses in the original MWO book went up to 300 mg, but from my reading on the boards lots of folks settle in at 50 - 125 or so - and I think the lower doses are suggested now.
So that doesn't exactly answer your question, except to say I found the side effects wore off. Hope others will respond (You might post in General too). Let us know what you decide to do.
AFH
