.... with either Topomax or Neurontin?? When I was on Topomax, I was still trying to manage the pain and teach first grade. I was taking grade level meeting minutes and literally couldn't spell the word read!!! Obviously not great for a teacher. Now I wouldn't feel great about feeling stupid as I already feel my memory weakening with age, but since I'm homebound, at least I wouldn't have people watching me feel stupid. The shakes and nausea weren't fun either though.

Has anyone heard of a case were someone did respond to one anticonvulsant well even if they had a previously horrible experience with a sister drug??

I would so love to lessen my pain and lower my narcotics, and if I'm really lucky, find a reason to live.

Thanks for any other info,
Suzanne
