Re: Topamax for nerve pain

I have been on 75 mg/day Topamax for phantom
pain (I'm an AK amp since '91) for about 6 mos. I started at 25 mg and worked up from there. It completely resolved one component of pain, but left others unaffected. I also take amitriptyline (75-100 mg),hydrocodone/acet.(10mg/650mg.- 4 tabs/day), and Celebrex (200 mg- 2 tabs/day). Together, they tone it down considerably, but do not completely stop it. When it gets going, it feels like my not-toe is stuck in a wall socket.

To get back on topic, the Top. does make my arms and leg tingle noticeably and frequently. I also
notice that I awake frequently at night and think
that it is likely due to the Top. (it was not a
pattern before). I will probably switch to daytime dosing to nip that in the bud. I have noticed some irritability of late, but there are
other factors that I could attribute that to, so I
am monitoring it for the time being.
