Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi Angie, It's poor that can't get the pain meds she needs...... Do you take Topomax already or are you thinking about adding it on? I tried it a couple of months ago and had horrific side effects. It mads my lower legs and feet hurt and burn severly, it made my fibro pain thru the roof and I had shock like pains all over. I was not aware that all these could be side effects and completely freaked out. I thought my fibro was getting worse and actually considered suicide. It was such a nightmare. I happened to look it up online for another reason and came across the side effects. Also, read a lot of reviews on the drug and saw that a lot of other people had the same reaction. So, be careful........One side effect that a lot of people love is weight LOSS! Jill Called the dr again/ no luck with the meds > > > I called and was a bit more aggressive with them.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Jill, Yeah I'd love the weight loss. My doctor is going to research it. I already take Lyrica and she isn't sure if they can be taken together. No, I've never taken it. Fortunately, so far I haven't had any really bad drug reactions. The symptoms you described I already have; but not real bad. Especially that jerky thing. I'll do some research on it myself before jumping in. First we are trying an increase in the Lyrica, tramadol and Soma. So it will be next month probably before I tried Topomax.
