I have been using Topamax now for 8 years off and on. I stopped the Topamax about 3 months ago, something I do once or twice a year to try and feel 'normal' again. Then last month I went to see my regular doctor because of numb, pale, swollen, achy fingers, swollen ankles and feet, and for a papercut on my knuckle that overnight turned into a radical staph infection. The NP ordered a full blood panel and the results came back positive for Lupus. I have had so much pain in my hips and knees, more frequent headaches (not migraines), insomnia and vision trouble. The past two weeks I have been super irritable and nauseous. I still need to have a 2nd opinion and/or referral to a rheumatologist, but is all of this related to taking the Topamax? I take 2 Imitrex injections if a migraine comes on and am hesitant to start the Topamax if it has indeed induced Lupus. Am I crazy or is this common??? THANKS for the feedback...SM.
