Hi There

,
I was just going to post the same one as you did. I have the same problem and this is my third try on Topamax. The last 2 times the tingling in my feet and legs turned to severe pain and I couldn't walk or put my feet on the floor it hurt so bad. among other problems, However I agreed to try it one more time because I was told it would help me with my back and knee's I have DDD & DJD, had 2 Spinal Fusions at the S1 & L5 both failed, Sciatic Nerve pinched after second surgery, now the skin on my left leg burns like someone is holding a blowtorch to it, I can't sleep due to the pain. I am also taking OxyCodone 10/325, Fentanyl Patch 50, Topamax 100 in the morning and 100 in the evening, and my regular meds and it doesn't touch it.
Everyday I wake up and wonder why am I taking Narcotics that don't work?
I am due to return to work on Jan 8th. But everyday I have to ask myself,
HOW? I can't even walk straight or bend down enough to clean my house, I have to use one of those grabber things.
The good part is I've lost my appetite, the bad part is things taste horrible and I hate the trembling I feel inside.
Does all this ever stop?? I've been on Topamax for 3 months now, How long have you been on it, and has it helped you any???
