"I was diagnosed with a condition called vulvodynia about 5 years ago. It's pain in and around the vaginal region. The doctor tried me on all types of medicines, mostly antidepressants for nerve pain. I was on amitriptyline, Effexor, and so on. They all worked to some extent, but now my pain doctor, who was the one who put me on the pills, has put me on Topamax, which is working really well for me. I have no pain, but sometimes I do feel a little uncomfortable and have bad days, but not too often. If it's not working, then she will try something else. My dosage is 100 mg once a day before bedtime. I don't notice side effects because I take a lot of different medicines."

"I have whole body RSD. My doctor prescribed Topamax for vulvodynia. It helped by lowering that specific pain from a 9 to a 7. However, after a week, I started having bad headaches, blurred vision, and blisters in my mouth and nose. I was taking 100 mg, 2 x day."
