I had a few of ,what I now know, to be side effects of TOPAMAX. I asked the doctor for help in getting rid of them & he changed me from CARBAMEZAPINE (for my EPILEPSY) to LAMOTRIGINE. This was like pouring petrol onto a fire to try put it out (!!!) as one weakens TOPAMAX & the other STRENGTHENS it. I went from a few mild problems to being tired out, forgetting the name of a town I lived for 2 years, shaky hand, eczema, spots, sinusitis, throat infection, vivid dreams & before fits seeing bed buds crawling all over the bed & big lumps growing inside me. After fits ,whilst still in a daze, walking round falling everywhere!!
