Your post is very helpful because it indicates Topa can be a good thing, can in some cases work quickly, and can yield benefits that outweigh the side-effects. A couple of questions for you (forgive me if you've already answered these in other posts that I have not seen): What dose are you on? What other meds are you on? Can you speak more specifically about side-effects, how bad they've been and to what degree they are subsiding. Also, how many lawn chairs constitute a reasonable purchase? ;-)
