I have been having horrible headaches. Finally saw the neuro who said I am having "electrical storms" kinda like seizure storms in my brain and put my on topamax for them. Said it would take about a week or so to get used to the lower dose, and then start taking a full dose. He worried about some of my symptoms and wanted me to call in a week to let him know how I am doing or call back if things got worse. Well things got worse!

I feel buzzy, strange, and like I am on the verge of passing out. my heart is racy, and I feel odd, and off. when I rest, and lay down I can get things to calm down, but when I get up and popping it comes on strong. The MD was worried that this electrical thing can affect the pace of my heart and wants me on a halter monitor and to see a cardio pronto, but none have called. I feel weak, out of sorts. I called yesterday at 11am! and called back at 2pm. I explained to the nurse (not the answering machine) what my sx are and explained I was upset and expected a call. she said she understood and the MD has my file, and WILL call me TODAY. well, the whole day went by with no call. UGH!

How do you get an MD to call you back?

I spoke to my regular MD who said "stop taking the pills. but the neuro guy told me how important it was to stay on them when he gave them to me. I have had this headache for 2 months. I NEED to break this cycle. Im stuck in the middle!
