Since one of the mechanisms of Topamax is augmenting the activity of gamma-aminobutyrate at some of the subtypes of the GABA-A receptor, why would it cause anxiety? I've titrated up to 100mg and gotten progressively more anxious. Today I cried off and on for no reason. Started after I took my morning dose. I get all sorts of paradoxical reactions to meds. Neurontin was ok, but gained weight and was too foggy. Am taking it for pain.
