So far, so good...I think
I've been on Topamax for about a month now. I've worked up to 75 mg, on my way to 100mg. I was supposed to take it twice a day but I was way too groggy taking it in the morning. My neuro said it was ok to take it all at night. I've only had a bit of tingling so far. The only major side effect has been drowsiness and a bit of fogginess (during the day).
I'm taking it for migraines. I've been getting them more and more frequent with crazy aura's. Very scary actually. I had an EEG last week and went for an MRI/MRA this past Saturday. That did not go well. I took Valium but when they explained I had to wear a helmet thing I freaked a bit and had to reschedule to be sedated. I was never that clausterphobic until this whole ordeal began with my illness (very long story).
I'll keep you posted on the Topamax. So far, I've only had one migraine, but no aura with it, which was very unusual. Guess that was a good thing.
Best wishes to you.
