Once my friend suggested we take some anti psychotics topamax. If you know me you know theres not much i wont try so i pop 2 or 3 i cant recall the dosage anyways a little bit in im driving down the highway with my friend who is on them and it starts kicking in for some reason i cant stop thinking everything is funny after regaining my composure i notice my depth perception and motor skills are starting to deteriorate as i find it hard to maintain the proper distance while slowing needless to say its time to get off the road we pull into hq (headquarters) a billiard hall where one of our friends happens to be. this friend has some bud now i dont know if this is shwag or if this is laced with pcp or something but i think it was the topamax and regualar weed that lead to the upcoming events anyways we sneak off into the wood behind the pool hall and start doing gravity bong hits after about the third hit im an straight twisted my phone rings and i can hear and understand what the people are saying but everything they ask i have to give the exact opposite answer such as " hey are you at home?" i say "yes" knowing im in the woods and wanting to tell her where i am..next question is
'can i stop by" i say "sure" then hang up so five minutes later or what seems like 5 minutes i get a call back saying i'm not there without a viable answer i hang up its at this time when my world starts to slow down to a stop it was like my body had to reboot or if you were to pull the cord on a record player and it slowly stops except this stop took like 15 seconds and the record would be like 3 but you get what i mean as i am half conscious im thinking in my head that jesus just came back and the rapture has started haha but my friend quickly clears that up i cant tell you how cuz i don't remember next thing i know we're walking into the pool hall i sit down at a round table followed by my 2 friends who sit across from me...at this point people that arent there start coming to my left and saying a simple phrase and in my head that phrase has a 2'nd meaning (a huge meaning) but i forgot what it was after i stopped trippin(the meaning of life?) anyways this keeps happening with 4or5 different people each time they'd choose a different side to sit on anyways after i loop through about 15 times of saying some phrase i get up and pick a a poolstick and start doing this trick with a cue ball that isn't even there so after a lil bit of this(banking the cue of the far rail and catching it) i have a life Altering moment i drop to my knees and claim to know the meaning of life before flat out dropping to my chest this is about the time my ears pop and everything the universe alligns anyways the pool hall clears out after i scream about the meaning of life and i tell my friend that ive gone insane so he says we're all insane and we leave the pool hall...Morale of the story is don't mix drugs or you could have a psychotic episode and open underlying mental diseases

I was prescribed Topamax and they never did anything weird. Of course I don't take pharmies for fun nor try to overdose with them. And it's an anti-epileptic, also used for migraines, not an anti-psychotic.

well like i said my friend took them with me he failed to have the same kind of experience as i did And my apologies for calling it an anti psychotic. I had a female friend take them at school and for some reason she thought her hands were paper, i dont know. All i can say is i have never since taken Topamax and never experienced anything like that day. Over 50% of my friends that took it with weed had similar experiences granted they aren't epileptic and they didnt exactly figure out the meaning of life. the friend that took it with me the first time grew to like them and the day he left he had eaten 6 and got on a plane to dc i thought he was insane but this is the same guy who hit the last plateau using 75 robitussin geltabs

this happened to me. i had been on topamax 250 mg for the past 3 months. i smoked weed and at first i thought iw as in hell. thought my bf was the devil. i was spinning out of control, everything kept repeating like a flip book. then all of a sudden i thought i was in heaven with god (he had appeared in my bfs form) he was saying all kinds of things from the bible. this lasted 3 days. everyday since then (its been about 5 months) i keep having panic attacks about it because i htough i had died that night and have to keep convincing myself that this "life" is real. that shit fucks you up, don't take weed and topamax. i'm lucky i didn't die.

Yeah, mixing a substance that clearly affects millions of receptors in your body with a pharmacological semi-poison. Learn something?

Will the feeling ever go away? Mine just recently happened. I have been taking 300 mg. For awhile, i smoked weed and i was on vacation at my sisters. I only remember taking a step off the bed and saying that i felt numb. My body froze i was stiff as a board. My eyes were froze open, my heart was racing, i didn't see anything but the room caving In and everything was a box. I felt like i was In the matrix, and i kept seeing crazy things like my whole life from my child hood playing and everyone smoking the weed, it's like my mind was a theatre, it said going I'n shut off mode. I thought i died. I saw a cross and i heard whispers the whole time saying God please give me a second chance. I thought God was telling me to clean up my life. My arms felt like jello and my whole body felt everywhere. I can't even explain everything because my mind was out of control. I saw people and it's like i thought we were our own Gods. That our Dads were put on this world to be our God, I'm scared to tell my family the truth of everything I remember because I feel crazy. i feel like it will never go away I feel like if I don't keep talking to someone or if I don't keep moving my body will "go I'n shut off mode." my mind feels lost. I too have to remind myself that the life I am living is real, and the people around me are real. i feel like I am still replaying what happened that day and that no matter what I am doing I am still re booting and shutting off and my mind is just separated from everything. That day I came back to concioua and everyone around me was frozen and the BREATH got knocked back into me i was trying to scream and yell but i couldn't talk but i could see everyone and finally it's like someone hit play. Then rewind. And the breath started to slowly come back. My sister said she pushed me back on the bed and I was stiff as a board. And all of a sudden I gasped for air. i couldn't remember anything. they told me i wrote on a piece of paper God gave me a second chance and I died that night. And i talked to God. I left I'n an ambulance. I know i made the mistake of smoking the weed, buy it's never happened before but i have thought hard and it almost has but that night was the night it did really bad. I can't function normally. It's all i think about, it's all I FEEL. i gave my topamax to my mom and said I don't want it no more. I'm so scared and I don't think anyone would understand unless they have been through it, so I'm asking you all that have. Please help me.. I'm scared to sleep at night.. I'm scared to do anything.. I was around weed after that and just the smell of it made my heart race and "freak out" and feel like I was "shutting down." i just want this to go away. I don't feel normal anymore, everywhere I look everything I see. Nothing feels real to me anymore.. How did you get over it?
