Hello

I can't answer the question about the itching, but I am taking Topamax - mostly for nerve pain, and also to help me with getting scrambled neural messages to go to the right places (especially in my legs which like to shake and give out, causing me to fall).

Yes, I do get some tingling especially in my face, and some on my left side. It doesn't really bother me too much though, and has pretty much disappeared after I had been taking the drug for a few months. It still happens occasionally, but not badly. One thing I did notice was a reduction in my appetite, and I lost about 15 lbs without trying or feeling like I had missed anything (there should be more meds like that I say ). I think that has plateaued though - but I haven't regained the weight. I am on a very low dose.

Regards
