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.

Does that make sense? I have had this disorder from the time I turned about 25. I am now 35. I have been to several Physicians and 90% think it's depression. However, the reason I'm depressed is because I'm so freaking tired. It takes everything I have to cook supper and wash dishes. I just wish there was a magic pill out there to diminish the effects of t...

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.
