seizures whilst on topamax

Hi, i have been on topamax for 5 months now to treat my servere migraines, Iam currently suffering with absent seizures my doctor informs me that this is not a side effect from the tablets and iam awaiting for a MRI scan. I was never like this prior to taking this medication and truely belive its a side effect.

Is there any one has suffered absent seizures whilst on this medication???

Realy wish i had never taken this medication, iam a wreck :(

Of the many side effects, either minor or serious, associated with Topamax, seizures never topped the list. The drug is an anticonvulsant so it does not make sense that one of its side effects is having seizures. However, if it is experienced by a patient then we cannot discount it, and further study would be needed. In the meantime, learn more about Topamax side effects on this site:
