Hi everyone....

i went to my neurologist today... Apparently, i'm getting side effects that I didn't know were from the Topomax i've been taking... Side effects were: sporadic headaches, nightmares (horrible, nightly), sleep distrubance (unsual)... I've been on a crazy work schedule, i thought it was from that.. But apparently not.

He took me off of Topomax....Switched me to Gabapentin at 300mg/day, try it out for a week if it doesnt work double the dosage. i'm still on Vicodin for the pain..

Anyone experience these kind of side effects with Anticonvulsants? But also, I'm still experiencing my "attacks" that last 20-40 mins that come and go at least once a day..
- Dull, Pressure, strong, ache
- Location: Upper and lower left side teeth, jaw, sometimes sinus area, sometimes cheeks
- sometimes, electric shocks and pulses (but not spasms and not severe)
- tingling sensations

Does anyone have the same situation as me?
