I still use a TENS unit for work despite sustaining burns and bleeding blisters from it. Have been thinking that Topamax might be an option after speaking to some who take it for migraine, but wanted to throw it out to the most experienced group I know of-you!

From Breezy55: I have been taking Topamax for over 7 years now. However my Dr. had to start me on a low dose and slowly build up! Now I am taking 200mg.q night It really works once you get use to it. I almost gave up also. You just have to give it time. It really does work for RSD. I also did try Lyrica but I got so blotted and so many headachs. I had to take an r.x to get the water out of my body from the Lyrica! Give the Topmax a chance. Breezy55
