> I've finally reached 400mg topomax. It was a long journey. It wasn't easy either. Even though I took it nice and easy and slooowww. It still was a hard road. But it was worth it because I notice that I am feeling better. My moods are much more stable. I still have the tingles in my legs and I don't like carbonated drinks and my sense of smell is as good as my dogs'....now everything stinks. I want to wash my carpet. Oh yeah, I lost a total of 7lbs. Hurrah!

Merry, seven pounds... and just the beginning...
congratulations...
I feel great for you...
at the hospital they told me that some times the tingling is actually a migraine, especially when it affects the hands and face...
something else to think about...
usually I have found that it is a warning of a seizure to come and I felt that my early warning system had let me down...
but the tingling in the legs is common with topomax and does go away as you become accustomed...
there is hope <g>
glad to see you back with us... don't go away again...
