How long have you been on Topamax for chronic back pain? I also have chronic back pain from a traffic accident over 20 years ago, (2 failed back surgeries, numerous injections, nerve blocks, etc.,). I have been living with it ever since. I took Oxycontin for 2 years and decided to go back to Codeine since it was less addicting. However, Codeine is also less potent as a pain med. I was just wondering how effective Topamax was in relieving chronic back pain and if you were taking other narcotics as well. Thanks.
