I had what I thought was a sinus infection for three months, I was treated with various antibiotics and Prednisone. Finally a CT Scan was done and I had clear sinuses. I was having pain/tingling under my eyes, extreme tension in my cheeks, jaw, neck and shoulders. It turned out that I was having "involuntary muscle contractions" related to the medication. I had to take muscle relaxers for several days after getting off Topamax. It has been 3 months since I've been off and I am still having some tingling/discomfort under my eyes. I am seeing a neurologist soon to see if this is permanent nerve damage.

i started taking topamax because of my migraines which i would wake up with them daily. the first week i started topamax 25 mg.(once a day) i was dizzy, lightheaded, silly, "drugged" sleepy (all day), stumbled over my feet, my head was "cloudy". now is my 5th week and i am 25mg in the am and 25mg at bedtime. i don't feel silly anymore. no migraines!!! i am happy now. i get tingly fingers and toes but that is nothing compared to my head throbbing every day all day long. sometimes my chest feels tight but i don't know if thats related to the drug or not. overall, i am satisfied after i got through the initial start-up phase. i did have to stop taking my birth control pills though because they wont be as effective. :(

I had been taking topamax for 4 weeks. I'm not sure when but sometime during this time I noticed I was getting a uti. I saw a doctor and he started me on cipro for 3 days. When I finished the meds I noticed the infection had not cleared up so I went back to the doctor and they told me I didn't have any infection, but I was still uncomfortable and in pain. So I decided to stop the topamax. After a couple of weeks the pain went away. Did anyone else have this or a similar side effect?
