> > Has anyone experienced a tingling sensation just beneath the skin which makes one restless? It is an odd sensation which has an intangible quality to it but is nonetheless concentrated in areas of the physical body. It is not painful but is intolerable. I've been experiencing this for two days non-stop. I've tried stretching, but this only provides relief while one is doing the stretching. The sensation returns immediatly after stopping. Any suggestions on how to cope with this?
> ****************I've noticed tingling in my feet since starting the topamax. It's EXTREMELY annoying. I can't cross my legs when sitting because it's like my circulation just zaps right out of my feet within a few minutes. It is quite uncomfortable. The worst part is that once the tingling has started, getting it to stop by stretching, or relaxing my leg, seems to take forever. Another thing I've noticed is that undo pressure on my feet can start the sensation too. Massaging the feet doesn't seem to be of much help either. If anyone has any suggestions for relief I'd be :} to hear them!
I have had tingling and numbness in my extremities since I started
Topamax. Now I have this achy, creep-crawly, restless feeling
in my legs at night that makes sleeping impossible. I tried valium
to try and relax my legs but it didn't work. This started all of a sudden
a few days ago and hasn't quit. I figure its the Topamax or withdrawal
from codeine. I'd love to get some sleep again...leigh
