Topamax tremors
Common Questions and Answers about Topamax tremors
topamax
As this could be the withdrawl effects of drugs. This is unlikely to be mini seizures, tremors will happen for a while and then go off on its own. Were you on one or multiple drugs for seizures?
t know which is worse, the terrible back pain or the tremors. The tremors are visible and can really drive you crazy. I consulted w/a Neurosurgeon a couple of years ago and was told there is surgery to correct this, but has limitations, i.e., could have a speech slur afterwards. Please give me some insight into these problems. Thank you.
topamax 50mg for ulnar nerve pain and cymbalta 30mg which he swtched form my aropax (paxil) which i had taken for 13 yrs without any adverse effects. The side effects were awful from these medications. Agitation , fast heart rate, insomnia and suicidal thoughts ( i thought i was depressed before!). Now it appears that i am left with a permanent tremor in my hands and head. I also get frequent muscle twitching. Its been 4 months and they havn't eased what's the go!!!!
Doc says surgery is up to me for now and not necessary unless I cant handle symptons. They increased my topamax and 2 days later I felt like I was riding a speeding elevator. Anyone else have this effect from an increase?

She passed out at work from the dizziness and went to the hospital. After 3 days at the hospital, she was sent home with some topamax for her headaches. She was still experiecing severe dizziness to where she could walk on her own. She now uses a walker to move around the house and sometimes not even the walker can help her keep her balance. Two days after being discharged from the hospital and told that there was nothing wrong with but a little stress!, she started having tremors.
I have back problems and the extra weight was brutal. Soon as as switched to Topamax (which has weight loss side effects) I lost the extra weight plus.
Seizure meds are tough. They all have very extreme side effects. I've been on 4 different ones and I found that over time my body would get used of the side effects. Depakote was definately one of the better ones for me.
Best of luck to you and your son.
I have all of my reports since 2002 and no mention of this until 2008 (a report I forgot to get) no one mentioned this to me. I have been having dizziness, headaches, tremors, major fatigue, confussion, out bursts of anger. I was told by neurosurgeon to see neurologist who told me to talk with neurologist! ARGH!!! No insuranse and I can't take any more. I don't understand why I'm getting the run around or it feels like it anyway. I feel so sick I can't stand it.
The main side effect is sedation and it can cause allergic reaction in some people. Topamax is another medication used, its main side effect is cognitive slowing (it makes you think sort of slowly) but this improves with time and can be minimized by slowly going up on the dose.
About 5 1/2 yrs ago I had a MRI done w/o contrast related to visual changes, tremors (especially fine motor tremors with my hands more on right side than left), ringing/buzzing in my ears, and tingling in hand and feet. That MRI showed 4 small lesions to the basal ganglion. My PCP had the MRI reread by one of the top neurosurgeons in central georgia and he advised him to have me see a neorologist immediately that he was positive that this was early MS.
I have many symptoms including constant headache, dizziness, extreme vertigo when lying down, bilateral arm weakness, hand tremors, blurred vision, feeling of fullness in my head, fatigue, photophobia, sensitivity to loud noises, increased sensitivity to touch, neck pain and spasms, ringing in the ears and urinary frequency. I've had migraines for years and a few of the other symptoms as well and they have just become so acute and that is why I sought out seeing a neurologist.
Ok, So that was in the year 2005 I had my MRI and the results said I was 5mm, but safe within the guidlines. My doctor wanted to put me through physical therapy once a week and try me out on topamax to try and prevent my migraines from coming on. Long story short....I didn't do the therapy, didn't take the topamax and ended changing jobs so I lost my health insurance for almost 2 years now. The only medication that I do take is Imitrex.
I have suffered from migraines since my late 20's. I am now 49. I have tried any and every migrained med, some work, some don't. My doctor has just suggested topamax. Has anyone taken this? Does it work? I am also hypothyroid and take 200mcg of synthroid, will there be issues taking these two meds together? I read that one of the side effects of topamax is weight loss. This I wouldnt mind as Ive put on weight due to my hypothyroid. But, the biggest thing would not have these headaches.
I was on 50 mg topamax at bedtime and have recently decided to stop (per dr.)I was only on it for 10 days, but had terrible side effects. Since stopping the MEDs. the side effects are crazy! I feel all of this anxiety and I cannot sleep, I have bizarre thoughts and zero appetite. This has been going on since I stopped 2 days ago. Anyone else experience this and more importantly how many days til I feel better???
