Anyone used topamax for their children?

Has anyone used this medicine for their children? My daughter is 3, almost 4 years old and the neurologists told me to read up on the medicine and see what we thought. Well, I have not see ANY comments ably any children using it and if their parents thought it was worth using or not. My daughter has full body tremors (not seizures) and is VERY unsteady when she walks. I would just like things to be a little bit easier on her and not make her a walking zombie.

These have been a few  clinical studies of topamax in children for different indications. Take a look, perhaps the info may be helpful:
