Hi,
Abruptly stopping Topamax or Topiramate may lead to withdrawal side effects such as confusion, loss of hearing or sight, fear, panic, convulsions, difficulty talking, falling down, seizure and other associated symptoms like eye rolling or fluttering, foot stomping, lip smacking, grunting or making sounds, shaking, stiffening, sweating, tremors, and twitching. This is usually tapered tapered off by your doctor by adjusting the dosage gradually over time. talk to your doctor about this.
The drug is also used in clinical trials to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.[15] A pilot study suggests that Topiramate is possibly effective against infantile spasms.[16] A study by Harvard recommends topiramate as an effective treatment in the prevention of Periventricular leukomalacia in preterm infants after an hypoxic-ischemic injury.[17] In May 2006 the U.S. National Institutes of Health web site clinicaltrials.
My anxeity attacks feel more like all of my electrical circuitry is shorting out and getting ready to overload. I literally feel as if I am going to explode mentally.
Could be the meds. I would go talk with your doc.
I quit the Topiramate and had severe withdrawal symptoms that put me in the E.R. Blood work, urinalysis, chest xray, and head CT w/out contrast all checked out fine. I then had a follow up with the neuro who looked extremely puzzled. I told him that I think that anxiety may be the root of my problems. Was it right for me to tell him this? Is it possible for worry and anxiety to really mess someone up this bad? He gave me free Lexapro but I refuse to take it.

I have access to both Toprol XL and Xanax, and I'm curious which one will help mediate some of my stage fright symptoms (I told intend to take them all the time; only when I know I'll be afraid). I'm sure both will help, but can someone recommend one over the other and offer reasons for doing so?
Much appreciated.
Does anyone think that withdrawal from that much Biotin could be the cause of my anxiety because there is no other link between the anxiety I had three years ago and what is happening now?
Also, I got other TBI symptoms...dizziness, I was irritable...even at minor things. I also began to forget things...like shopping lists.
Anyway, I've been seeing neurologist. I was intialkly prescribed Tramadol for the pain, and then Nortriptyline for migraine prevention. I started at 25mg once at night. That decreased the headaches probably about 50% then moved to 50mg at bedtime. That didn't really help the headaches anymore, but I began to notice the side effects.
but other than being weak with my speech I was fine.
My symptoms include constant headaches; dizziness; a feeling as though my legs and hands aren’t really attached and I have to concentrate to make sure they are working correctly; feel like I walk more to the left; I stutter which I never did before and I also run a low grade fever. I’m on multiple medications for headaches, depression, anti-inflammatory ….etc and nothing seems to help.
It was me people always came to for a laugh to cheer them up but I just can't do it anymore. My migraines are under control thanks to topiramate which I also take at night and my weight gets me down aswell - I don;t feel anything like my normal self anymore -- any ideas? My husband says he understands, but he doesn't.
It is a relief to meet people who focus on the solution of the problem and not stay and wallow in their symptoms. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for over 12 years and had struggled to find out what was wrong with me for 4 years prior to the diagnosis. Including going to a renowned specialist in the field who told me I did not have it. This was very early on, and now I could be a poster child for FM.
My recent problem is a doozie for me.
I mean I didn't know anything about withdrawals nor that I was an addict to this crap. But soon after I stopped taking them the pain in my body got worse BUT the funny thing n what threw me of track was that at the same time I got strep Thoart so I related my pains to that oh OMG for the following 2 weeks all I did was vomit/fever/shakes/really bad pain all over my body I felt like I was dying...... I couldn't get out of bed.
So, I know you've said it a 1000 times but sorry, I have to see the pattern. You need to list symptoms, what oscopies, what meds and reactions to them, any damage to spine in the past, WHAT HAPPENED OUT OF THE ORDINARY IN 1989. And by the way, I love what I see of Austrailia - never been there but if I had to leave the US, that would be where I would go.
