I also started taking Topamax for migraines. The headaches seemed to
improve, but the numbness, tingling and eventually crampy feelings in
my arms and legs, and my face one day, drove me nuts. I tapered
the dose back to only 25 mg/day and still had the side effects.
I quit the topamax altogether last week and the symptoms have
finally disappeared. Unfortunatly, my migraines increased again, too.Good luck with it. After almost 2 months, I lost the patience to wait
for the side effects to subside. In my case they only got worse.
It's depressing, since the topamax is the only drug that actually helped
control my migraines.leigh
