Last note for the original poster on this tread in terms of topamax - itās always the tempting one in the back of my mind (esp if some other people were able to get over the āvisual trailsā in the morning after getting used to the drug- those are the weirdest sx for me and freaked me out, Iāve also heard that anxiety/emotional issues on it lessen over time when you take the drug and stabilize). The dose that seems to help people is at least 50mg over several months or 75mg and higher but titrating slowly is recommended I guess, I may have gone too fast the first time. Gabapentin works well but it does have a bloating effect in my legs unfortunately, itās just a matter of what you can cope with in terms of sx:
