Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Hi folks - Saw a new neurosurgeon - and SHE was super nice - spent an hour and a half with her. The good news was - she was intrigued by Chiari. The bad news - she was intrigued by Chiari. OK...Along the same thread - I never had REALLY bad headaches before surgery - and of course - now I do. I was put on Pamalor and Amitriptylene by one doc - and she decided to take me off of that. It didn't seem to have an effect - Now I am on Topomax, Imitrex, and Reglan(when needed.) The MOST bizzare part of all of this is that I was WAY HYPED out on the Topomax the other night. I just started taking it - only 25mg, one time a day - at night - and WHOA! I felt like I had an IV of coffee! My husband was ready to give me an honey do list - cause I was ready to retile the entire house! It was great - except when I came off of it! I called the doc back - and she said it was because I had just started the drug and that I was probably dehydrated. Any one else taking this stuff?? The other odd thing is that NO ONE wants to address the body aches. I have been completely off of narcotics for one month - and still folks are saying it is withdrawl pains - but I had these aches before and after surgery! HELP! Thanks! in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
