Just noting Topamax side effects. I'm on 75mg - coming up on the 100mg very soon. I do have the tingling sensations, losing train of thought, and I have my moody moments (but no lashing outs). I have found that I don't care to eat as much, but I still eat. I had a migr...

Keep us posted!

Hi!
I'm just going off Topamax--not the right med for me! But I wanted you to know that my HA specialist recommended potassium to help with the "tingles." I started by eating more bananas, but ended up with a potassium supplement. You may want to ask your doctor about what to try if the tingles continue!!
