I started on Topamax a month ago and the first five days were wonderful. I bounced out of bed in the morning after a good night's sleep and felt wonderful all day. I take fifty mg. at night. On the sixth day I noticed I ached in my head and legs. My head felt like it was stuffed full of cotton and after a few more days I was having a hard time thinking and my sleep patterns started getting messed up. Two weeks into this pill and my legs were stiff and my feet burned while my arms ached and my hands and fingers tingled and twitched. I'm a newly wed and love my husband but you'd never know it if you were in our bedroom the past couple of weeks. He keeps asking what is wrong and all I can say is I think it's the topamax. After I snarled at him Saturday he looked at me and said...you have to get off that crap, it's doing you no good whatsoever. I agree with him and am making an appt. with my doctor today. I only hope she listens to me.
