Been on Topamax for about a month now up to 75 mg a day. Have been doing pretty good. Only 1 migraine. My mood has improved considerably. No noticible memory loss, some weight loss (yeah). What I am experiencing is jaw pain or tenseness, don't know really how to explain it. Anyone else have this side effect?
Topamax - anyone experience jaw pain or tenseness on this?

hi
you have got nothing to worrie about these side effects will soon go, has i myself have been on these for a good for years now and on a high dose of them, at first i didn't like the side effects but they soon go and you will feel ok

Hey Kelly,
The tenseness is minor and should pass real soon. I experienced the same thing when I first started taking it. It also happened when I had an increase in dosage, but it only lasted a couple days. If it continues to be bothersome, notify your doctor right away. Good luck!
In peace,
Tee
