Hi,
Just wondering if anyone heard of having a dystonic reaction to a drug other than an anti-psychotic? Had been taking Topiramate for 9 days when I developed extremely stiff neck/shoulders. Had gone from 25 mg to 50 mg to 75 mg. This is when symptoms appeared.
Dr. says that it can't be a dystonic reaction. At first he suggested taking Advil which I did for a few days which did not help. I finally just stopped taking the Topiramate and it took several days before the pain and stiffness went away.
Thanks for any suggestions.
