Topomax is either or. it's great for some people, and a disaster for others. I was on it for mood stabilization, and it made me actively psychotic.
For pain treatment there are other options in the AED group. I have hidiously paifull arthritis in the back knees and ankles, and though I take Trileptal for mood swings it's been a miracle for my pain. It's widely used for chronic pain. I also tended to get horrible myalgias in the trapezious(typical of anxiety) and they've stopped.
So try something else if you're that miserable. Topomax is a weird drug, and plenty of other people can't take it either.missliz
