I have in my hands and feet

Yes, I started having tingling in my extremeties and my face that my neurologist tracked back to my Trokendi, which I believe is very similar to Topiramate, which I have also taken. My neurologist switched me to propranolol and the symptoms stopped almost immediately. He said that I could continue with the Trokendi, but I would have to deal with the tingling. It was a "lesser of two evils" kind of situation.

Review the side effects of Topiramate and see if what you are experiencing fits in. I literally shut down at a similarly high dosage. I did not eat, shower or talk to anyone in my family. It was a concern to my father and I called the dr. To get off of it. Good luck to you.

Try taking potassium for the cramps. I have fibromyalgia and prone to cramps so I take potassium to aliviate it. The tingling is part of the course unfortunately but shouldn't last all day

I've been on it a few different times. I don't know that I ever noticed leg cramping specifically however I did experience pins and needles tingling in my hands and feet. Every time this occurred, it was within the first 3 days of beginning the med and would last for about 3 weeks off and on. It's a commonly known side effect that my doctors never seemed concerned about. Hope it gets better for you soon!
