Title: triple play topamex
Post by bigred on Jun 24^th, 2005, 12:35pm

Ive been on topoamax and prednezone for one week and have had no ch all week. IM a cronic usually.
I enjoy these painfree times dearly.
I also coach my 10yr old girls 4rth grade softball team.
Last night Im coaching the girls from third base and its my job to send them home on a hit.
We have laoded bases and our girl hits a ball in the air towards the shortstop, I send all the runners at once,OOPS, their shortsop catches the ball and all hell has broken loose. I yell for all the girls to get back but its to late,the girl I sent from third has crossed home plate and headed for her gatorade, my girl at second for some damn reason thinks its easier to get to thid by going over the pitchers mound towards home,
The young lady who caught the ball was so happy to have it she did not want to throw it to any of her teammates on second or third, finally their little pitcher and first basegirl grabbed the girl with the ball and away they went tagging second and third to record the final two outs of the tripple play. And end my misery.
Pain like this I can take daily.
Im blaming mybonheaded hit and run on the topamex.
Im aloud one mulligen right.
P>S we won 15-8
Tough defensive game.

I'm betting the pain free time is due to the Prednisone. The Topamax probably hasn't kicked in yet.

PS. Everybody is entitled to one boneheaded move, right ?

I agree the topoamax hasn't had time to kick in yet. Also your dr probably has you on a low dose or at least he should of 25mg. It needs to be between 200-400 to be theraputic. Although I went up to 600mg with no luck. Be careful this drug will make you dumber than a doormat.

Your right, Im on the first week step up of 25 mg topamex nightly, to end in 4 weeks at 100 mgs to stay for awhile.
The prednesone is a 10 day taper down,
God I hope the CH dont start right back up when the pred is over.
Sounds like Id better take any precollage courses now before the topamex takes over. Just kidding.
Thanks for chipping in guys.
LOL
