Topamax –

[scottobear]

I’m taking topamax twice daily, and it really kills the taste of carbonated soda-pop.

Diet Dr. Pepper tastes like seawater. Very strange side effect.

Upside, it does make my nerve pain more bearable. I’m more than happy to get my caffeine from iced tea.

Interesting...I took that med for a couple of days when my head had been hurting for 2.5 months. It made it feel as if an entire sheep had moved into my skull. (Very wooly.)

That's odd, indeed. I had to build up to my current dose. I took one a day for a week, now am taking a morning and nightly one.

did the brief dosage of sheep help remove the pain?

Sadly, no... however, starting hormone replacement therapy later that same week *did* do the job. It's been odd.
