Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / September 2003Topamax and "tingling"
I've recently changed my medication from Tegratol to Topamax (what fun that was). But at 150Mg 2 x day paresthesia,to give pins and needles it's posh name, felt like someone had plugged me into the mains socket. Has any one else had any similar experiences?, and have the sensations passed in time?. G. g'day g when i was on topamax i found that i had a very strong tingling sensation in my tongue. apparently topomax can inflame the facial nerve. pharmacist advised me to take vitamin b6 which did alleviate the problem somewhat. pablo > I've recently changed my medication from Tegratol to Topamax (what fun that > was).

I am 50 and have tried almost every kind of med you can name. My problem is me and meds don't get along to well in the 19 years I have tried justed about every med on the list. I have right temporal lobe seizures. Two years ago I had brain surgery and that didn't work. I had the vns implant about 5 years ago and it worked for about 6 months. So 2 months ago My neuro and my wife and I decided to have a new one put in. It is on as low of a setting as it can be and will be worked up slowly. my seizures are now back to where they started. I am only having them at night and I take Carbotrol and it has stopped my grand-mal seizures altogether. Mike H Howdy Mike! I just had my VNS turned back on 2 days ago after having it turned off in 2001. The VNS message board URL is: http://www.vnstherapy.com/messagsfs.html  SignatureDave ????
