Well my 1st Topomax dosing is going awesome, although
I bumped the dose because it seemed to not be
doing anything at 1st. Much better than Zanaflex.
Seems to potentiate the Klonopin with pretty
much the same side effects (a little drowsiness)
and benefits. My myofacial pain is completely alleviated
and my cognition is not substantially impaired.-john
