I did not get off of it (yet any ways) waiting to see doc again in couple weeks. But i did go back down in dose and itching calmed down a lot, but not gone. My body does still look like it was attacked by fleas or something!!! itching is way worse at night for some reason while I am trying to sleep. I feel the medication is helping, but it is hard to know for sure because I had started it while having nerve blocks...and now the burning is coming back more and i do not know if it is the reduced dose or the nerve blocks wearing off. I had 6 nerve blocks in a 4 week period and have not had any in a month....what a dilema!! I do know that I do not want any more blocks!! So over time that will be the real test!

Do you have any other problems with Topamax? I am on 100 mg in am and again in pm. I was having worse reaction when i went up to total of 300 mg a day....somedays i just take 100 (i forget the pm one a lot, which reminds me...gotta go take it now)
