Hi Hope 4 Eva,
sorry I haven't tried topamax, but my pain med doc mentioned it as a possibility. Use the search function on this board, and you can see what other posts there are on the subject.
Look for posts by Narellejane (I think) and ezer, they had some posts on the subject.

Wishing you the best,
Debbie

I have taken topamax before, but it wasn't for this issue. But I believe it helped with my issue. Just pay attention when you first start and keep track of any side effects to make sure they go away. I had a friend on it at the same time and he had vision issues. Nothing super serious, hut still. I didn't have these problems.

There's another thread on topamax at this link:

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
