I have to agree... I think that I have been all but a cheerleader for Topomax - especially having had to live with the side effects of its competition so to speak.. the one that does not have the weight loss side effect for those of you who are using it to lose weight <g>right now, my hands are tingling and making it awkward to do anything that requires hands or fingers to connect with anything else as I am not really sure what it is I am touching or for which I am reaching...
I have a buzzing/tingling effect in my ears...
and for these lovely experiences I can thank Tegretol... don't you wish you were me???
think of the fun you are missing...
oh, and did I mention that the so-called tingling in my toes is such a complete numbness that if the weather were not so mild I would think that I had achieved frostbite while indoors and be panicking enough to head for emerge....add to this the pain in my eyes that is similar to the effect of someone driving a railway spike into the area between the bridge of my nose and my eye... and the pain in my right eye that is as if someone had another railway spike and were driving it through my skull into the middle of my eye...
not topomax and I am not sure if it is Tegretol or the eye thing...Topomax is really not as bad as everyone seems to assume...
hey.. I am seizure-free for four days now... Topomax is great... and if you don't believe me, just ask me LOL
