> i recently started topomax 50 mg for bipolar disorder. while my mood is much better, stomach discomfort is very unpleasant. i feel like i have 24 hour acid reflux. i still get hungry but if i eat i feel sick for hours.
> also, has anyone else felt a "pins and needles" feeling in their fingers and feet? how long do most of the side effects seem to last?


Regarding the pins and needles: I've heard that complaint is common amongst new users of Topamax although I must admit I did not experience that symptom. However, I did experience an increase in symptoms of a pre-existing acid reflux condition. Hang in there, it does get better. Your body is just adjusting to a new chemical environment. Hopefully, you will adjust very soon and things will work out great. Once I adjusted, I had no further problems.
