Tracers are a side effect of topamax. Tracers are a common side effect with depakote also. Tracers in and of themselves aren't harmful to your eyes, but you do need to see an opthomologist regularly on topa, as sudden changes in eyesight and glaucoma are side effects of topa.
> I had a weird side effect this morning, at least I'm assuming it was from the Topamax. For about the first 5 minutes after I got up I saw tracers! At first I thought I walked through a spiderweb, but as I turned and moved my hands around I realized I was seeing tracers! It only lasted a few minutes, but it was pretty trippy. I did have a few beers last night, but I've had a few before with no consequences (I'm taking 75 mg). I'm thinking this may be tied to the other eye related side effects Topamax has. Or else I'm flashing back to the single time in my life I tried acid when I was a teenager...
