Eyelid twitching

Take a look at this website: http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=20505&name=TOPAMAX There are quite a few Topamax users that report eye twitching.  I just started taking Topamax, so far my side effects are mild: soda now tastes flat...can't taste the bubbles, occasional tingling sensation of my face AND twitching of eye.  The twitching has become so annoying, it can be mildly painful and I can see it in my visual field; that the next time I see my MD I'm going to ask for a remedy ... Botox to stop the movements. BTW, I do not take Topamax for seizure, rather for migraines and am on the lowest doasge 25 mg a day.  I've only experienced one HA since begining treatment  and I'm not willing to stop the medication at this time.   Naneki 

Good day, I have read about the stories of many people having troubled by the eye sickness of eyelid-twitchings and hence I would like to share my own personal experience to you over the course of my treatment for this sickness, and it is only meant as a reference material to your website. For your information, I have been suffering from exactly the same type of sickness like&nbsp;these people&nbsp;in the past few years whereby my eyelids also tend to twitch both continuously and uncontrollably without me being able to do anything to control the twitchings at all. As a result, my eyes would seem like blinking all the while to anyone who looks at me and I totally could not drive, look directly and persistently at the pc or tv screens and most of the times, I simply can’t read any books or newspaper properly. And I have sought lots of medical treatments and apply various kinds of eye drops and even have the MRI examinations taken to get my eyes cured , but these efforts turn out to be in vain as they fail to yield any positive results. Luckily, just about a year after I suffer from such a sickness, I come across an accupuncture expert who studied and observed closely about my problems and then administer a therapy needle on the part of the flesh which is about 1.5 cm above the middle part between my thumb and my forefinger of my right hand. After that, he just ask me to press (using just mild force) that accupuncture point using such objects like toothpick /normal writing pen or anything with a blunt-pointed end for at least 2 hours a day and then consistently for about 2 months. Having done that persistently based on his order, my eyelid-twitching that makes my eyes blinking all the time just totally recover and I can drive, work with the pc screens, watch tv, movies and read as well as work like any other normal persons. For your further information, I have also come across quite a couple of people in my real life annoyed by such an eyelid-twitching problem of different causes and degrees of severity, and accordingly, I just recommend the method as mentioned above to them and within weeks, they just experience significant improvements to their conditions after applying this theraphy, and after a few months , they just recover totally from this sickness. As a matter of fact, I actually intend to put an illustration of that part of the hand (the one between the thumb and the forefinger of the right hand) to demontrate that accupuncture point to you more clearly, but this cannot be done due to limitations of this website. However, shall you have any further enquiries about the method I recommend above, you are welcome to address it to <a href="mailto:mary_perkins81@yahoo.com">mary_perkins81@yahoo.com</a> and I’ll try my best to help you. Lastly, I sincerely wish that the ones troubled by such an annoying eyelid-twitching sickness can recover finally from their illness.

I have JME and was experiencing the right eyelid twitching at small intervals throughout the day after i took keppra.&nbsp; My doc has removed me from keppra and now on topamax.&nbsp; I have been on topamax for a few weeks and am slowly increasing and as of late the eyelid thing has stopped.&nbsp; I noticed it more with keppra.&nbsp; I hope it stops for you.&nbsp; Good luck.&nbsp; Kym&nbsp; &nbsp;
