I had been taking topamax for 4 weeks. I'm not sure when but sometime during this time I noticed I was getting a uti. I saw a doctor and he started me on cipro for 3 days. When I finished the meds I noticed the infection had not cleared up so I went back to the doctor and they told me I didn't have any infection, but I was still uncomfortable and in pain. So I decided to stop the topamax. After a couple of weeks the pain went away. Did anyone else have this or a similar side effect?

Yes! I took Topamax for about two months. Stomach pains caused me to discontinue it. Shortly thereafter, I got the first UTI that I had ever had. I have had them continually for six months now, during which I have been given 6 different antibiotics and IV's for three days in the hospital. I always suspected that Topamax somehow caused the problem, and your post helps to confirm my suspicions.
