It's been a while but I recently had a complete relapse. I had a group of friends come visit me and we went out to a bar - which is usually okay for me if I only have one drink. Suddenly everything was just way too much. I was sensitive to the lights, the noise, my eyes were glazing over. I was so embarassed.

Then for two weeks my headaches got worse and my eyes would randomly glaze over and I wouldn't be able to see anything - I read the news so you can imagine how difficult this is especially as I try and hide it from people at work. I also had that feeling again of being detached from things.

I went to see a neurologist here in China and they changed my prescription from amitriptaline to Topirimate but i'm still getting headaches and just generally feeling a bit off. I think i'm going to have to go to the doctor's again and see if we can up the dosage.

Anyone got any advice? I am so fed up after 15 months!
