I was on it too, and it NEVER worked for me. My doc put me on TOPAMAX, AND it works GREAT. I don't have the water weight gain, OR the loopiness or sleepiness. I don't have ANY side effects, although some of you might. But it takes away ALL the nerve pain, i.e. burning/tingling/zapping, etc. it's just great, and I'm only on 400mg per day!
Just thought I'd pass that on. Best of luck & take care. Hugs, lee
