I just logged on this website for the first time.  I have been on topamax for about 4 weeks now.  50mg in the morning and 50mg at night.  I have had terrible tingling in my arms all day and very fatigued.  Still experiencing headaches about 3 to 4 times a week - although tollerable, I am still needing to  take my god send rx "relpax" when these "head bangers" occur.  I have 3 young children and am on the go all the time.  The relpax works really well for me.  I only started the topamax in hopes of "prevention."  I am now wondering if I made a mistake with all of this tingling and fatigue. Does this subside? and Will the topamax start working so I don't need the relpax so often? Because, as of right now, I am taking topamax and relpax. Toxic waste dump!! Should I stick with the old addage, If it aint broke, don't fix it....and stay with only the relpax????
