> >> When I ask ANY doctor, they all tell me that these drugs DO NOT cause bladder or urinary problems. When I look at the side effects I do see thatd 1 - 2 % of the population gets dysuria and other bladder/urinary problems. So why do the doctors deny that these drugs cause these problems?
I don't know which doctors you are asking, but my doctors both told me about the kidney/bladder related side effects of topamax before prescribing it to me. You have to drink a lot of water on it, that's what they told me years ago when I was on it and that's what they told me again yesterday when I started to take it again.
