Does Anyone Have Strong "zappy" Pains?
I read about "tingling" pains in the hands or feet but I have been getting very strong zappy/almost electric nerve-like pains in my legs and feet. Has anyone else felt these types of pain? It feels like the pains I had in my head when I tried to go off Effexor (unsuccessfully). I too am feeling very foggy on Topamax. On for a few weeks, up to 100 mg twice a day. My vision feels weird, can't read a thing without my reading glasses (which is a change), driving feels weird, and soda tastes almost soapy. My dreams are very vivid and strange - even though I am sleeping at least 8 hours, I don't feel very rested. And I have to urinate at least 12 times a day.
