Feeling a bit like Alice in Wonderland on Topamax!
Thu, 04/03/2008 - 23:28Topic: Medication Issues
Hi there,
I have been taking Topamax now for around 8 months.
Every few days I experience severe burning throughout my head, and sometimes the room even seems to move in waves,
and I know this probably sounds completely nuts!...but objects & people seem to shrink in size..as though from 'Alice in Wonderland' at first it was a little funny, but now it is frightening.
I have told my neurologist of my concerns, and he has told me to hang in there.
I have started taking different vitamins and changing my diet etc, and this has helped a lot,
but unfortunately these symptoms come back.
Has anyone else experienced these symptoms on Topamax??
Cheers!
Summer :)
Please let me know how this
