Boy, there is a very interesting mix here.... medications, possible virus, awareness of big-time hurts and fears from my past...and now all this new info about Topomax shown as causing *parosmia* and the brain/olfactory nerve interaction with mood and emotion... I didn't know this stuff! Knowledge about my brain, my body, medications and how they interact is very, very important to me, as is my continuing to work to gain insight into myself and changing my old patterns of doing to new ones. That's all I know is I feel better today, and it would really be great to learn anything else I can that anyone is willing offer so I can do whatever it takes to make sure that I NEVER have an experience like this one again. To: "medlib": Can you please tell me where I can find that info in print that you listed about Topomax and parosmia? (I feel really angry that my care givers kept saying that none of this has to do with Topomax!) Knowledge empowers me, and what I don't know, just MIGHT hurt me!!!
Oops. Gotta slow down a bit. Breathe....
Thanks so much for all that each of you has offered through your messages. And, if anyone else wants to add their two "scents" in (sorry for the pun) I welcome it.
