Frequently asked questions

How long should I take Topiramate?

Can Topiramate be used in children?
Yes, Topiramate is approved for use in children over 2 years for seizures, but it is not recommended for migraine treatment due to insufficient reports.
Is Topiramate effective for anxiety?
Topiramate is not indicated for anxiety treatment. Consult your doctor before using this medication for anxiety.
Does Topiramate interfere with valproic acid?
Topiramate does not interfere with the efficacy of valproic acid but may increase the risk of hyperammonemia, which can lead to cognitive difficulties and decreased alertness. Inform your doctor if you experience these symptoms, as Topiramate can also cause hyperammonemia on its own.
What are the serious side effects of Topiramate?
Serious side effects of Topiramate are rare and may include glaucoma (eye pain, blurred vision), kidney stones (sharp side or lower back pain), metabolic acidosis (tiredness, loss of appetite, irregular heartbeat), suicidal thoughts, and insufficient sweating in children, which can lead to increased body temperature.
Could weight loss be a side effect of Topiramate?
