Hi unaluna ~ Interesting that Topomax is helping control your symptoms, and that is a very good thing. Can you explain "the shiver"? Is it like you are feeling cold and suddenly you shiver for a few moments?

Its funny, it was always exactly the same, and so were peoples reactions.

I havent experienced the shiver now in almost 20 years since ive been on topamax, except for that breakthru time. I have talked to drs about it, but theyre like, if it aint broke, dont break it for the sake of finding out what it is! No sense in risking a seizure.
