I developed severe side effects on Topamax which I think were induced by metabolic acidosis which they warn you about. I'm still not the same after weaning off it and still need to take Klonopin for panic attacks which started on the Topamax.
But, not everyone reacts the same to meds. I know people who have done very well on it. Just start low on the dose, titrate upwards slowly and be on the lookout for side effects, should you and your doctor feel that a trial is called for.
Good luck.
