Topamax, Dr. Robbins, etc.
Sue H, First, I sent the WEBSITE of Dr. Lawrence Robbins, he is out of Chicago....If I can't work it with my local pain specialist to do the DHE outpatient, I may be taking a trip to Chicago! The inpatient DHE IV worked well; I felt great for 3 weeks but then it went back to normal.... Dr. Robbins is the only one I have seen mention OUTpatient DHE and doing REPEATED ones....THAT MIGHT WORK FOR ME.... No, I wish I had lost weight on Topamax...boo hoo...but then at 100 mg maybe I'm not on a high enough dose!!! I could lost about 25.... Write me privately with your doc's name and address so I can mention them to my doctor to ask him to try the Topamax at a higher level (and possibly eliminating the Verapamil). Thanks! Blondielou
