hey

when I first got RSD I was started on 3200 whilst in hospital by my consultat. It made me feel awful and wasn't much use with the pain.... I also gained about 3 stone in 3 months (going from hockey player/ netball team/ muscisian to being stuck in bed/ using a frame)...

... the dr's took me off it and I went onto topomax which was ok - not amazingly useful though. Made me feel abit ming. had to come off it for some reason or other?

finally went on to Lyrica which made my muscle spasms much much worse...

came off it and have given up on anti epileptics - they just aren't overly effective for me (side effects aren't worth it generally).

Rxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
