Default Tingling Toes - Anyone??

I have just upped my dosage to 25mg in the am and I am taking 50mg in the pm and I am now experiencing the most uncomfortable tingling in my toes and heels when I am sleeping... it is so bad that it wakes me up!!

I have tried taking my pm dosage earlier and the tingling now happens earlier - does anyone else experience this?

Hi Dee,

If it's Topamax you're taking it's just an annoying side effect that will subside eventually.

Don't let it worry you.

Default Potassium

Look for foods with a lot of potassium and add them to your diet. Helps reduce the tingling effect.

I got the tinglies with Topa as well. I gave up on it, not so much b/c of that but because of cost of the topa. But the tingly feet were irritating to me. Many here get over it.

Try blowdrying your toes. Lushy can give directions. I hear it helps. Good luck!

I've been on Topa for a month and I'm now at 100 mg. It is my week to go to 125 but I'm doing it on my own without a script so I'm being really careful and hovering here at 100 mg a bit. I sometimes notice the tingling in only one foot and for me it only means one thing- I need water! If I drink a bunch of water it goes away in a few min. I know everybody is different but it might be worth trying.

The MWO suggests eating a banana or two per day for potassium or taking two 50 mg tablets of grape seed extract. Mine didn't tingle until 300, and then only rarely. I kinda like it - sick!
