Exclamation
Self medicating with Topamax is risky.

You need periodic blood work for acidosis and bicarbonate levels.
This drug has serious effects on the kidneys and eyes.

You should have tests for glaucoma every 6mos while using this drug.

Hmmm and to complicate things further Im today having the best day in 6 months on lyrica. hardly notice the P.N yet 2 days ago was curled in a ball.
This coincided with 5 days of extreme tropical storms, the pain was a 7 now a 2
maybe Im overacting and now srorms have passed i may go back to my normal pain levels. No swelling either. God this is complicated!
