topo side effect-numbing of right side of face!

[SMPKB]

Has anyone ever heard of this side effect? I look as if I have had a stroke! My right eye and side of my mouth look droopy. I have stopped the med because of this, but will put up with it if I think it will subside. Any thoughts? Thanks,

Gosh treasure.....I don't know whether I've ever heard of this on the boards...I don't take it myself, but it sounds like an unusual reaction...can you look up side effects on the internet if you are too uncomfortable going to your doc for advice??? I reckon you're right to halt the intake though until you are sure of things...so sorry that I cannot be more help
Hope you get the problem sorted, I know that a lot of members find topa an invaluable aid.

Go to the doctor, there is a syndrome where you have a paralysis on the right side of your face, and i can't rmember the name right off hand, a friend at work had it. You need ot go to the doctor. It is temporary, but can last for a while, it goes away on its own. It is not caused by the topa.

Looks as if this is unusual! I only have this when I take the Topo, which has been on and off for this reason. I have weird allergic skin reactions, so perhaps I will chock it up to that! Don't want to see my Doc, she doesn;'t have time for me. (time for a new doc!) Thanks for your input.

:thanks:

If it only happens when you take the topa then I would stop the topa.
