Hi, I'm Topimax
Topimax withdrawal on taper. Hi. I have been on 175mg of Topimax for 20 years for anxiety. I’ve had bad anxiety as a teen and after a bad divorce ended up also being prescribed 100mg of Seroquel, 3mg of Clonopin, and 20mg of Lexipro (now down to 10). I was a wreck after my divorce but a few years later stabilized and my new dr suggested that I start to cut down on some of my meds. Suggested the Topimax first which I agreed with. I’ve always had problems with sleep. Initially, I thought the taper was going well. However. 4 hours of awful sleep and then the weirdest feelings in my fingers like they are swollen. (Not the pin and needles) that have been described that I have read. I try to stay an active everyday but my hands are not cooperating along with the extreme fatigue. I am taking 2 hour naps and mg hands/ fingers are constantly bothering me. Anyone else ? Thanks!
