I passed a kidney stone about 1 month ago & was told that I have another in each kidney. Have been on 200 mg Topamax/day for 3 years. Also they found a gall stone 2.5 cm when they did CT scan at ER. Just had it removed. They had to do a larger cut at the navel so they could get it out, it was so big. I've also been on Lexapro 20 mg/day.
My husband keeps telling me my back pain is a convenience pain and all in my head. I think between a gall stone that large and kidney stones I can rest assured the pain was not all in my head. Dr. put me on topamax for weight loss.
I feel that Drs. don't care, they are much too busy, you have to educate yourself. I passed a kidney stone 4 yrs ago so this Dr should have know not to put me on it.

Starting taking Lipitor 20mg 3 weeks ago to the day and all of a sudden, over all pain in the muscle and joints to the point I needed to lie down and sleep for 2-3 hours. After I wake up, I feel like a real person again and then within 1 hour, bang right back to pains and a fuzzy feeling in my head!! Dr did some retest and told me that it's not because of the medicine and could be a flu but no flu I ever had felt or acted like this. I have been off it for 4 days now.. does anyone know how long does it take to get this stuff out of your system!!! I want my life back thank you!
