In reply to HELP-ITCHING ON TOPAMAX ANYONE???................., posted by galkeepinon on July 18, 2003, at 22:29:02
Hey there hun,
I've never taken it, but make sure it IS a side-effect and not an ALLERGIC reaction. If you other symptons other that the itching, I would definately go to the ER. Shortness of breath, turning pink or red, getting swollen or even getting hives! Other than that, soak in a warm-hot bath with just water and some cornstarch if you have it. When anyone in my family ever came across any itching of the body, hives, chicken pox, poison oak or just bug bites, we would soak in a warm bath of cornstarch. But don't put any thing else in it like bubbles or even other soap. It might make the itching worst.
Let me know if you are okay,
Love ya, Nyia
