I have been on Topamax since June 2007 when RSD was diagnosed after 3 tests that were performed Bone Scan, EMG & VNC after knee surgery. 2 of the 3 tests came back positive) My doseage has been gradually increased to 100mg. Most of the side effects described above I've had, the only one I am experiencing, that I did not see posted here, I have broken out in hives. My skin started off very itchy and then all of a sudden I broke out in hives, and the hives have only appeared on the side of where the RSD was located. I have found that this medication has worked, but the side effects are quite difficult to deal with at times. I find that when the medication is increased it takes 7-10 days for your system to adjust. I don't know about anyone else, but it took me quite a while to type this email also, it take a while to focus, and to get your thoughts together. This is to IMISSMYWIFE, I don't know if this is my husband or not, but it sure sounds like it could be, I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you and Nicole.
