I tried searching on here for the itchy thing and found nothing. I cannot remember where I found it but it took me all day to read people's posts about their experiences!! Since I have lowered the dose it is not as bad. No antibiotics lately (as in last 6 months) nothing looking like a rash either. I do have some little red bumps, probably from me itching and digging my skin!! I have the tingling sometimes also which I find weird. Why would that happen sometimes? it is sometimes in my hands and feet or hands or feet or nowhere at all. I am going to discuss with my doctor. I have researched Zonegran, I know it is similar to Topamax but it could react differently. Have you heard of it?
