Neurol 60:332-334, Towne,A.R.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In cases of refractory status epilepticus (RSE) unresponsive to sequential trials of multiple agents, a suspension of topiramate administered via nasogastric tube was effective in aborting RSE, including one patient in a prolonged pentobarbi tal coma. Effective dosages ranged from 300 to 1600 mg/d. Except for lethargy, no adverse events were reported.
