> New to site, glad I found this. Began Topamax in 2000 at 75mg/day for depression, also developed a kidney stone. Med D/C due to $$. Was never warned of possible connection! Then beginning 12/1/01, had 2 unprovoked/unexplained seizures within 3 months, BAD allergies to Dilantin & Tegretol (very rare), went to Topamax 200mg/day. LOTS of constant pain/problems now with kidneys, only told about drinking water, STILL never warned about this, no one helping me. ANY IDEAS?? HELP??
Are you still on Topomax? When I developed my Kidney stones I was immediately ordered to discontinue the med ASAP by my doctor. He took it VERY seriously, and I suppose for good reason. There have also been connections to glaucoma with Topomax, especially if you have vision changes (i.e. blurry vision) from it.
