I Have Been Taking Topiramate 25 Mg Tablet - For

I have been taking Topiramate 25 mg tablet - for headaches prescribed by a neurologist - not seeming to do much good for my headaches. 2 each night for about 3 or 4 months. However, I can't get in to see him and I want to go off the medication. I am having various side effects - especially the horrible taste in my mouth and pain in my back and side. I want to go off the medication and have been easing myself off for about 2 weeks now - 1 every night instead of 2 for about a week or two, and then 1 every other night for about a week. I want to stop completely now. Is it safe to stop completely now? YYYY@YYYY
