Alex, I'd ask the doctor to test your bicarb status on the Topamax. This drug can cause acidosis and hence odd feelings.
Warning letters were sent to doctors to follow up for this serious side effect: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/Enforcement.../ucm146898.htm Tingling on the head and face can be a sign of acidosis. (also can be from low calcium levels). http://symptoms.wrongdiagnosis.com/c...dosis-desc.htm

I had this s/e at 100 mgs, but not at 50 mgs. I drink lots of water and exercise fairly regularly. Don't know for sure, but I suspect lowering the dosage and these other two factors all combined made the difference. Hang in there...I have found Topamax to be the only effective thing w/ reference to cutting back on my migraines. The s/e's are kinda "tricky," so it requires lots of patience on your part and that of your physician.
