I did get tingling but it was better if I didn't drink too much caffeine and used to eat a lot of bannanas for potasium. As for the fog it did get betta but sometimes I would feel like I was on speed. But then hairloss got really bad at 400mg so I decided to come off it, expecting my memory and concentration would improve but thats still not fantastic. Dr has suggested carbemazepine but I think id prefer the topomax as it made my seizures less intense and also really helped my migraines! I will leave it another month med free and the see!
