Okay, was coastin' along just fine but got my Rx filled and thought I was takin' 237.5 mg (137.5 plus 100) but was really takin' 275 mg total (!, exclamation, because I'm hypersensitive to meds) cause I never looked at the small pill bottle and ended up havin' some untoward effects. Since then I've tapered back down to 200 mg/day total.
But, I've got that sore throat again, which I believe is actually bein' caused by bleeding from my gums irritating my throat ... a known, though infrequent, side effect per my doctor. Now, I am also paranoid about Janice's comment about cavities because of this whole "mouth ordeal." Hmmmm. Things had been goin' fairly well (and still really are but for my mouth).
I am gonna' be addin' 10mg of Prozac (an AD which I was actually on and was still in my system when I first started Topamax) though because ... uh ... er ... let's just say ... the topiramate is helping me (a male) complete the sexual act just a tad too fast and the Prozac's been a good one to counteract that for me.
