Topamax and uti

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?

Hi, I have been taking topamax for about 5 weeks now, maybe a little longer and only 25mg. I have to say my migraines are gone for the most part, except little what I would call headaches that don't last long now and then and I did have one migraine around my menstrual cycle. My side effects have been abnormal menstrual cycle, altered taste (especially pop), slight not hungry feeling, and urinary problems (UTI, frequent need to go, etc...) A couple of side effects that I think are from the medicine because I have seen them listed as side effects are sore throat, tongue has a burning sensation, but not all the time. Has anyone else had these side effects? I have read them as side effects (sore throat, burning sensations), but have never read anywhere of anybody actually having them, especially the tongue thing. Any input would be helpful. Thanks
