Hi Inky. I have been taking Topamax for > 6 mos. for phantom pain, in combination w/ amitrip. and hydrocodone. The adage start low, go slow is probably the best advice. I found that 50 mg/day is what I can tolerate without experiencing unacceptable side effects. Tingling of the extremities is common. It is very important to stay well hydrated when taking this drug.
