Hi Ed!
>PS. Correction of metabolic acidosis due to Topamax may require a combination of sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. I think it's very unlikely that you'll need either though, since you're on such a low dose. Pronounced metabolic acidosis is more likely to be a problem for people on very high doses.
Very true. Its great having the knowledge to know about these side effects in more detail and more importantly how to treat them if they were to occur.
Hypothetically speaking, if one was to get metabolic acidosis, would it be standard practice to take sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate to correct the imbalance ~ and therefore you can continue treatment with topiramate?
Kind regards
Nick
