Yes Laura. My sticky skin started when I began taking lamictal for seizures, two years ago. It isn't listed as a side effect, but I'm pretty sure it's causing my problem. That's very interesting that stopping topiramate helped. Did it clear up, or just get a little better? Since it's controlling my seizures I don't want to stop it, especially since this is the first I've heard about a seizure med causing it. When I went to the dermatologist, he had never seen stick skin, but did send in a report regarding my condition to whatever office keeps tracks of side effects - don't remember just who that is. I hope others will respond if they think it might be a med. --mahniah
