Has anyone had Glaucoma from use of this drug. I was on Topamax for about a year; There were occasions when my sight would sort of gray out. I was told that this was just "A Typical" Migraines. About three weeks ago there was so much pain in my eyes that I ended up in the emergency room. I was told that this was caused by the use of Topamax. I have had surgery three times since because to help. I now have a blown/fixed pupil which they tell me will not every get better; lost some of the muscle and small amount of never damage. I have double vision in my left eye while the right eye did get better. I am also on prednisone trying to help with the inflammation (great side effects here) I am trying to slowly get off them now. I took 20mg x 3 for 5 days. I was put back on them after the third surgery (20mg x3 for 5 days then twice a day for 5 days then down to once a day.) How long does the "Hot Flashes" last and will the weight gain go away with exercise soon after I stop.
