Hi ~ You need a MUCH higher dose of Topamax. I'm on 400mg per day and it works GREAT. it takes away ALL the burning/stinging ~ and I've had sciatica for 25 years. I like it much more than Neurontin! That makes you retain water - Topamax does not. Just thought I'd mention that if you were on a much higher dose, you'd have much better luck. God bless. Hugs, Lee
