It IS evil. It made me, literally, stupid. Apparently it affects the language part of the brain. Suddenly, I couldn't write or spell...and I am a creative writing major! And yes, I was very tingly too until I got used to it...I was on 50 mg a day. I was scared to stop it because of the stroke (it seemed like the lesser of two evils) but finally decided I would rather live one good day than five Topamax ones. And I wanted back on the bike.
