Hi!!! Actually, they took me OFF Inderol and put me ON Topomax about a month ago (trying to do double duty--migraines/RSD). I had a TERRIBLE reaction to it. My BP doubled and my resting heart rate was around 106. I had a splitting headache the whole time, so I had to come off of it. I literally felt like I was crawling out of my skin.

I was taking the Inderol for migraines, not RSD. Having had both, I would much rather have low blood pressure than high. It was scary. Now, I am on neither med......I'm going to give it a try to see if I can keep my migraines at bay without it. My BP is at least stable at 125/79, pulse 81 resting. Not great but better than it was.

I was sorry the Topomax didn't work. I may try it again down the road. I was in a TERRIBLE spread and flare when I was on it. Thanks for inquiring!!!!
