I haven't ever had anything to do with topamax myself but I have seen it used for bad headaches by quite a few people. You can always click on the highlighted word topamax in the post and it will take you to the information page for that medication. God bless.
Robert....had husband recheck I'm good .12 twice a day . The prior doses were actually smaller which may have been the problem. I will stay at my dose for a couple more days ...Will I be skipping off this dose or should I drop to .6 twice a day then skip?
Thank you so much and God Bless

If you determine that all of this was do to the doses being too small that will actually be a relief. If you see that's the case I think you should start skipping days next, but if not, then you should taper one more time first.

Be sure about what you decide. But regardless I want you to have a few really good days where you are before doing anything else. Let me know. God bless.

Hey, Jenny from the block you really can make my day ....you are so sweet you always manage to put a smile on my face in the roughest times (Hope u don't think I'm a nut)...I will be listening for that cheer ...it will have to be loud since I'm from Il.
I guess I didn't screw up my dose since I just got tired and redid them and they are the same actually the ones before looked smaller
Hey part of California are you from? I only ask b/c I have family out there...
Well hope to talk soon and thank you so much I will keep moving forward.

The other IDIOT never called back about the Requip dose so I read a little and added the .5 to my 1mg taking total 1.5 ....I even told the stupid lady that I could cut them off at that point still no call.

Well so far today is day three no silvers but I might have messed up last night cutting lines I may have taking .25 last night and this morning instead of .12 so have I totally messed up???? I recut new ones this morning and will have my husband double check them....I think I've seen one to many of those lines ...for some reason they still look a little bigger than the ones I took those five days. Please help...
I never want to see another line of powder as long as I live.

Hi Pam -This is Linda and sorry you were having some trouble but I think you are over the hump. Don't worry about .12 vs .25 it won't mess you up, may even help. Cut your lines and before you recut to make a smaller dose label them, We used a mirror and had lots of lines cuz there were two of us we divided it in four sections and put a sticker for each section, 1mg., .5, .25, .12 cuz it does get hard to tell as they are so freaking TINY! Hang in there- you're almost done. I bet your so sick of hearing that - but you are!

And it takes me an hour to get to the doc...OH well...LOL...

Hi Linda....Well tell my body that...yesterday I didn't have the energy to even get up and give my dog a treat ,pretty sad . Then my body decides to wake up at 8 pm . I figured the extra Reguip made me tired yesterday...not so sure now.
I tried to go to sleep last night around 12am didn't fall asleep till 1pm then woke up at 2pm all sweaty and still up... I want to shoot every bird that starts chirpping at freakin 4:24 am....as you can see no sleepand cranky.
That Idiot doctor finally called about my restless leg ******** and tells me to take 3 Klonopins at night and 1 during the day .Well I took that and a sleeping pill and the Requip and still can't sleep....I hate this feel like a walking zombie....I need to change my thread name to Zombie The B***h!!!

The sad part is thats when I miss my pain pills they use to put me to sleep..I have a cat,dog,and husband and they all decide to freakin snore

I do have a glass with my lines but for some stupid reason I second guessed myself so I took 4mg separated it into 2mg put one to the side... b/c for some reason lately 2 sticks in my head...who knows guess lack of sleep....anyway I just split that till I had a 2 1mg piles,split the 1mg in half .5 then just cut 4 piles from the ,5 which should be .12 . I'm so sick of seeing lines need to finish cutting today. The ones I did before seemed smaller for some odd reason....I did label them .Guess thats why I'm making sure and rambling on. Sorry I just really needed to vent. Thank's for listening.
Oh one more thing I gave Melinda my regular e-mail so if you want you can get it from her or Mags.
You guys can just keep telling me to hang in there...need all the motivation I can get...even if i do sometimes hate hearing that
Talk Soon,

Hi Melinda....Actually they seem to be working...I was having real bad pain in my mid back ...She will only do three injections at one time but she pushes and the worst point if where she injects ....if they get the right spot it works...just don't go shopping after then it just flares up.
Wow I think I'd find a doctor that is closer .
My old doctor use to do it but I think he's dead now most regular doctors won't do it.
Haven't heard from you in awhile hope all is well.
Talk soon,

Robert hope all is well ...ok here's the daily scoop yesterday I had no energy didn't even want to give my dog a treat. I thought it was from the extra .5 Requip....then around 8pm my body decided to wake from the deadwent to bed 12am couldn't sleep till 1am and woke up at 2pm sweating I only like to sweat for 2 reasons excercise and I'll let you figure the other one out (actually thats been awhile to do to pills) .Ok I know TMI.... anyway I didn't sleep at all last night. I wanted to shoot every bird that started chirping at 4:24am .

The IDIOT doctor called about the RLS told me to take 3 Klonopins .5 each at bedtime and 1 during the day...did that nothing took a sleeping pill nothing even the Requip didn't help me sleep. Those are the times I think about my pain pills

I just want this over....I know don't rush and be patient...will I feel this way when I'm done off the subs.
Oh yeh he also asked how much subs I was on so I just told him 4 mg a day...I thought for sure he was going to tell me to take more but he didn't.

I hope this makes sense since I feel like a Zombie ...Oh I think I should change my thread name to Zombie B***h ...sorry about the last word.
God Bless,

Thank's Melinda....I sure hope so I'm so tired ...I keep telling myself that the next day will be better...I have had my moments I just want to get past this it's like I have line blindness now.
You would have thought that what I took I'd of been out but for some reason my body decided to wake up too late yesterday. Oh well.. and then that sweating I'm sure you saw what I wrote poor Robert on that
I just want to get past the .25 today is day 4.

Pam ... I didn't sleep all night myself. Just woke up a little bit ago ... finally slept a couple hours. It sucks for me too when I don't sleep.

So are you sure that you've made it four days at the same dose? I know you were confused about the dose before. I really think a big part of your problem is from other drugs besides subs. Not saying you aren't feeling the sub taper but you take a lot of different meds. It's very difficult to tell online what is causing what symptom.

Do you feel like you're ready to reduce again? You've got to help me at this point, it's impossible for me to know for sure. Tell me what you think. God bless.

Robert must have been in the air . Today will be day 4 of .25 mg. I feel like I've been on .25mg forever ...I'm tired ,muscle aches in legs, lack of sleep. When I recut my lines the ones I was taking seemed smaller than the new ones.

I'm only taking Klonopin and Requip but did take that Trazodone last night won't be using that anymore I tryed it 3 times but it didn't do a thing so down the toliet it goes . The doctor finally called and told me to take 3 Klonopin before bed and 1 during the day .5 each...he asked me how much Subs I was on so I just told him 4mg a day. I thought for sure he almost wanted to up my dose but didn't but did mention the RLS could be from w/d.
I never filled the Topamax that the other doctor gave me...I asked if it was addictive but I'm sure it is...so thats about it.

Well Mr Robert thats about it so wht next should I give it 5 full days and skip or taper alittle farther then taper?

Thank's and God Bless

Pam ... I really don't want you having problems doing this. I think it would be smart to give it through tomorrow at the same dose. You're still having some symptoms.

I will admit that I'm a little "confused" on what's happening here myself. I am not comfortable yet with telling you to reduce the dose again. Tell me how you feel tomorrow afternoon/evening. Let's make plans then. Not trying to put you off, I just want this to stop. If you move forward while having symptoms it's my experience they will only worsen. Let me know tomorrow. That's my advice. God bless.

Thumbs up Robert

Robert...Hope all is well well I'm on day 5 .25 a day well you wanted me to see how I was today... I got sleep last night and have had a good day kept busy .....Actually it's the best I have felt in a while....

So should I try a lower dose such as .12 a day and use that dose for skipping or do I skip at .25....When should I skip...

I did read somewhere that RLS can be caused from w/d only mild last night.
The only pain I'm having is from my mid back I just have to deal with the best I can.
Thank's and God
Pam

Pam,
Hang in there girl. You are almost there. I didn't take the subs so I am no help in that area. I know they will get back to you. Don't change any dosage until you hear from Robert. I think he wants you to get stable and I know that you have been having a difficult time. One thing I know is that you shouldn't worry about how long this is taking. Keep focused on the goal and you are doing great with it. You are going to be off these little nastys very soon. I am in southern california. Where is your family located? Born and raised here in California. I travel all over the place for my job. Been to almost every state. At least every state that has a Major League Baseball team. Can you hear me cheering?? "Here we go Pammy, here we go, clap, clap, here we go pammy here we go" lol I was a cheerleader in high school so I'm still pretty good at it ha ha. Hang tough girlfriend. You can do this. Don't let up now!!!
By the way, have a good friend who lives in Ft. Wayne. You near there?

Pam ... I hadn't slept for two nights in a row. I finally dropped like a fly last night and slept for twelve hours. I was a zombie.

I think you should go ahead and skip today. Then dose again tomorrow. Let me know how you do.

Don't freak out about skipping. I expect that you'll do just fine. God bless.

Hey girl I loved the cheer ....I think I hear it way to go keep it up...you crack me up .Well Robert told me to skip and not freak out...it is a little scary which I know it sounds stupid ....I never thought I'd feel that way ...I thought everyone bailed on me but they finally resurrected I was getting worried. I can't wait to get off this stuff never want to do this again..I'm tired of seeing lines...
I live just ahout 45 min. Northwest of Chicago ...lucky me hahaha. Hey we have the Sox and Cubs .My half brother lives in California actually my parents did live out there for yrs but, moved back to Kentucky since my stepmother is from there and my dad has Alzheimers so she has a hugh family to help. My real mom who I just found 3yrs ago lives in Seattle it's her sons that live in California .I have always wanted to move out there ...maybe someday. I went snowboarding out in Lake Tahoe a couple yrs back then drove back to San Jose it's really wierd how the weather changes out there.So what do you do that sends you all over the countryis you don't mind me asking? Hey if your ever around here let me know....Isn't Fort Wayne in Indiania?
Well girl keep cheering me on need all the support I can getand keep in touch.
Talk soon

Pam,
You are right, Ft. Wayne is in Indianna. Somehow I thought that was where you were from. I work with MLB players so I go to the different stadiums alot. I've been to Chicago many times. Had a great time there for the All-Star game a few years ago. I've had players on both the Cubs and White Sox. It is a really fun city. Don't worry about your skip. It will be fine if you keep yourself busy. Easy for me to say I know. You can do this. You are barely taking anything right now anyway. Almost there!

So how do you get a job like that....pretty cool....what exactly do you do? Hey ever in town give me a call it would be nice to meet you ....if you'd like Melinda has my e-mail you can get it from her I don't want to post it here.
It's wierd that the first day you skip you sorta wait for the axe to drop then you need to regroup all your thoughts .It's like all you do is think about the subs which I'm sure you also did going c/t. I think it's b/c all the issues I had on such a small dose but it still kicked my A$$...you right I need to stay
busy. Hey girl are you still cheering....
Talk soon,
Pam

Well I'm hangin in there girl ..Hey I actully found some more pics...
Talk soon ,
Pam
Hi Pam
Your to funny...Im not telling a thing ... sorry we were MIA......

I would come and help you clean it's easy to clean someone else's house...did you know I have a cleaning business...
I'm a kick a$$ house cleaner...LOL...
But it's not as much fun doing my own house...
maybe because know one is paying me...

I know it's scary at first when you get clean, but you get use to it pretty fast, I still have my days when my fibro kicks in and the disks in my back hurt..
but I just remember what it was like when I was addicted to the drugs and that gets me moving...
I like to spend money and not spend it on drugs...
you know what I mean...

hope you don't mind me saying this but I'm proud of you...
life is good.

Talk to you later, Melinda

Dear Pam-

Sorry I didnt' see your posts yesterday; of course I can't advise you on your dosing, but I sure would have sent you a (( hug )). What is it with all of us.....I have had a terrible time sleeping as well! Haven't slept more than 2 hours at a time in so long I can't remember. I used to be able to take over the counter Benadryl (an antihistamine) and it would usually work. Over the last couple months I have taken Trazadone (which I have taken for a long time as an antidepressant and sleep aide)...no help and was Rx'd Ambien CR, tried it...no help, plus don't want to take it...don't want to end up over-heating my George Forman Grill and wondering where the steaks are.....LOL (I think it was Robert that did this when he took Ambien!). Geeezzz, maybe we could all get together at 2:30 a.m. at Robert and Melinda's for steak some time....(I think you had to have read the post)

From what I have read, it seems like you are at the roughest part; hang in there girl your doing it! Am I right that you are at the point of skipping!???? Just a few more of those nasty little lines to go. You'll soon be one of the "experts" and will be helping other people (myself included) get through that last push.

Hope you get some sleep soon.

Big Hug,

mags

Hi Melinda and PAM

Just wanted to say "hi".... glad you got a kick out of the George Forman/steak comment. I read about it on some thread recently when Robert was talking about his reaction to Ambien and I thought it was hilarious. Didn't some one else end up at McDonalds in the middle of the night not knowing how they got there, etc?

Nice weather here, been working in the yard, came inside to check the threads and see if I could offer any of my wisdom.....LOL.....hehehehe, that is pretty funny.

Hope all is well with you? Better get back outside, sometimes I get involved with the posts and end up spending hours in here and before i know it (as I am SURE you are aware!) it's getting dark )

PAM - Hey skipper girl...how is it going this morning? Hope well. It must be very strange not to take anything in a day....how wonderful. Hope you are not having much in the way of w/d symptoms.

By the way, I live a couple hours form Lake Tahoe, yes it is a beautiful place, one of my favorites. Heck come on out to California some day and visit!

Just wanted to say "hi".....let us know how things are going.

Hugs,

mags
