Hi,
Metabolic acidosis can be confirmed by doing blood tests for pH, paCO2 and bicarbonate concentration.
If it's absolutely necesary to continue Topamax, the metabolic acidosis could be treated with sodium bicarbonate tablets and/or potassium bicarbonate. Regular blood monitoring would be essential to determine an appropriate dose.
If it's not vital to continue Topamax, it would probably be best to taper off it.
Regards,
Ed.
