Since I just upped my dosage to the 150mg of Topomax I have noticed the sharp tingling in my right hand. It's the definite needly feeling. It goes away fairly quickly. It normally comes on in the middle of the night.I was thinking that it was because I had slept on it badly because it feels like when you lose circulation and it comes back. That prickly feeling. But then I realized that I hadn't had my hand bent. But it only seems to be my right hand for some reason. My face has the tingles but they are only tingles and not pricklys like in my hand. I thought maybe I shouldn't go up on my meds while I was on vacation but then I had a night terror the first night I was there and I decided...I had better go up! As soon as I upped...no more night terrors. I am worried about the confusion though. I seem to be getting words mixed up more and it worries me. It could also be that I have spent a week with 17 youth and children and it's the "week before" so I am holding out. I am also seeing "floaters" in front of my eyes. Little black dots etc. Is this bad? I have had a headache on the right side of my head behind my right eye but that could also be due to the weather. We have had nothing but thunderstorms and then sun and I am sensitive to the berametric pressure. I wasn't having headaches at the beach and we had nothing but sun down there so who knows but I was having the little floater thingys. I dunno..maybe it's worth being a little crazy than dealing with all these stupid side effects!!!
