Topamax: Pseudo Tumor

Posted by KramerSpaz on July 6, 2006, at 1:55:04

I've been taking Topamax for about a year now and I'm up to 150 mg. I have been taking it for relief of daily headaches and a diagnosis of Pseudo Tumor. The Pseudo Tumor has cleared up per my doctor, and my headaches are few and far between.
I missed my refill inadvertently. However, I'm officially sick of the side effects so I've considered just not refilling it all together.

Does anyone know the risks of dropping the dosage immediately without tapering the dosage? Will the Pseudo Tumor rebound? Just concerned and don't want to throw away a year's worth of work with this crazy drug. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

This question would get you a better response on regular Psycho-Babble, which is about meds. This is Psycho-Babble Social, for socializing. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Asking the question here that is, the people on the other thread are just going to be more knowledgeable about these things. I personally don't have a clue as to the answer to your question.

I agree with Texas Chic post this on the meds board. The med experts are there. Love Phillipa
