to remind you all how our cluster meds can screw us up bigtime...I have been waking up with both my arms numb....completely numb and cold....I have been sleeping with gloves on....My neuro was out of town....I thought I had some major Vascular disease...Well, I just talked to his office and one of the nurses there was on Topamax for a year...after a year on it , she started having the same thing...but she could not walk....It was the topamax....I have been taken off of it now...Keep your fingers crossed cause this med really helped me but it is really dangerous....She said he may put me back on it next week when he sees me but will add other meds with it...Alot of these cluster meds scare me to death....I hate the side effects.....Now, I will be wearing gloves to work and to bed for a few days till this stuff gets out of my system...smiles,nancyc Ps I will be The only nurse imitating Michael Jackson LOL

Personally, I think you're just a wimp.... Last time you found another excuse for not taking the Topamax when it was helping you....LOL!!!!
Hey, maybe that's why I wear sweatshirts to the beach - ya think?
I take Trazadone 50mg along with the Topamax and don't have any side effects that I can tell. I've been on it since 1999. One time when I had to raise the dosage to 400mg a day I did get a little depressed (ok so I was suicidal), but Nancy caught it and told me to cut the dosage down - I did and everything went back to normal. Haven't raised it to above 200mg since. I still swear by it.
But Nancy, don't worry, we'll warm you up in FL in just a few weeks. Donna has our pink blow up thingy waiting.
Hugs BD

What dosage were you on Nancy? Also, did you taper down off the topamax (I hope you did)? Let us know how it goes! I definately did NOT like the topamax trip I went on...

OMG! According to the convention summary from this year...100mg is supposed to do the trick! I was ignorant of this med and allowed my doc to get me to 300mg before I fired him and got off that crap.

Nanycy~~ I had an advertisement for Imatrex recently and noticed that you shouldnt take Imatrex if you have Raynauds syndrome... well this is news to me because I have that and no one ever said that I shouldnt use imatrex for that reason before... Why are you wearing gloves is it because your hands are cold??? maybe you have raynauds... I dont know where the raynauds came from on me either... that is a disease for smokers and peeps with circulatory problems. But I do use imatrex and that is something we have in common... weird... hope you are ok. keep us posted about this...
Hey i really enjoyed our talk on the phone the other night we have to do that more often... love ya Ree

Believe me...1750 mg is no fun at all. The more you take...the dumber you get. I couldn't even help my kid with his fourth grade math at the time. DUUU ! And two months before I was in college taking 3 math classes, symbolic logic, economics, and computer programming ! I couldn't have done any of it while on Topomax ... I couldn't even spell Topomax ??? Glad i'm off that dumb drug !

What do you want me to tell - about how you lost all that nice State Trooper's money and he STILL wanted to come home with us? Or the Casino Host sending us that basket of fruit or YOU wanting to go to sleep after keeping me up for three days - Heck I was DEAD tired you wimp!!!
A word of advice --- If Nancy comes to visit - SLEEP before she comes - you'll get NO SLEEP while she's there!!!

wow......and I thought I got the chills,
I suppose I really should break out that U.S. Issue feild jacket that I was using for pajamas. The meds are a bitch, even the verap and O2 make me chilly.
I suppose if my kids would leave me something to eat after I get done cooking dinner my electrolytes would be more in line.
dang it.........refuse the TOPO if it makes you feel that bad, and find a good shroom salesman.
