Hello,
I have had RSD for 8 yrs. It happened after a hip replacement. I've been on alot of different meds. over the years. I've had all of the epidural blocks, I have a spinal cord stim that isn't doing the job. I tried to go off meds for a year, it was such a bad year. The methadone and oxycodone made my arms hurt so bad. After the year I was in too much pain. The Dr. agreed to put me back on oxy. It helps somewhat and helps me function and do things like "normal" person. I go to my appt. on May 16th and now that I have medical insurance to cover my meds, they want to put me on Topamax. Iam so afraid it won't work. I don't want to be drowsy. I've spent to much time in bed. Has anyone tried this stuff? Did it help?

Thanks so much,
Sue
