Good afternoon. A few weeks ago I was given a sample of Lyrica by my Neurologist. I was instructed to take the 50mg pill twice a day. I have severe crackling and tingling in my legs and hands.

I could not tolerate the Lyrica so on yesterday my Dr. prescribed Topamax. I know that the main use for Topamax is seizures because 4 years ago I was prescribed this med to take with Wellbutrin due to WB's side effect of possible seizures. What I remember most is that I lost 42 lbs in 5 months while on this combination\ / I currently have a lapband and 40 lbs from goal so I look forward to weight loss again since my band is currently unfilled due to my last exacerbation and dxs. I am thinking of having the band removed.

Anyways, my question is anyone else on Topamax for nerve pain? does it work well for you? and what dosage are you on? I am to take 1 25mg tablet a night for 5 days then 2 for 10 days then 2 thereafter.
