I'm feeling a little better after lowering the dose. Decided the taper little quicker as not using it for seizures, so cut it back by 50mg yesterday.
I forked out money to pay for the article that "Panic Attacks Associated With the Use of Topiramate" in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology August 2001 21:4 which says the carbonic anhydrase properties which are clinically associated with paresthesias and kidney stones theoretically could lead to CO2 retention and panic attacks.
Maybe, or maybe not this simple explanation.
