Thanks VL,

we'll see what the Neuro says... i am going to ask about the various options, and if he is reluctant to prescribe something i'll press to know the reasons why not.

Part of the reason too is that once i am used to it, i have no side effects from gabapentin (not case right now - still adjusting). Topamax is known to have some serious side effects. The last neuro refused to even let me try it; then again she was a real witch.

I also want to know if the state will pay for Topamax, coz it won't pay for gabapentin. Gabapentin may be cheap over there (?) but here it is expensive considering the amount i need.

However since gapapentin has worked before - and seems like it's helping even though i'm all groggy coz not used to it... many a doc would tell me to stay with that.

Nice to see you. I hope all is well with you and your family
