Unhappy ~~Soxy, leg Pain Topamax~~

Soxy, When I was on topamax the leg pain was horrid. It would wake me from a dead sleep. My legs were very weak and my leg mucsles were so tired. I could hardly walk.

After I stopped taking it thankfully this and the awfull moodiness had went away.

Take care
Catty

Cattys, thanks for replying. I called my doc who prescribes it yesterday. I had no problem with it until it was increased to 200mgs. He said he didn't think my leg problems were the result of the increase. If I feel the same way in a few days I'll go back to 100mgs to see if my legs are better. If they are then I'll have my answer. If they are not then I'll have an answer that I sure won't like but am ready to take. Hope you are doing somewhat o'k. It's going to take me awhile to catch up with everyone. Take care my friend.

I forgot to mention that it doesn't bother me at night too badly. It's worse when I first get out of bed in the morning. My legs get gradually stronger as the day goes on. It sounds like I'm 80 with severe arthritis but I'm not. It's sad but when my 78yr old Mom was here I had trouble keeping up with her!!!!

There is always hope....

I don't have the leg pain but I sure do have weak legs. I feel like they're going to give out on me any minute. I'm on neurotin and I'm going to ask him to switch to topomax.

I guess really for two reasons; the increase in weight and the weakness. I wonder if anybody has lost weight on topomax.
