Can Topiramate Intake Be Stopped Abruptly?
I have gastric perise and I am taking Topiramate . Gastro doctor has helped stopped the bleeding in my stomach, but this Topiramate seems to be upsetting it all over again. I see my neurologist on Wednesday. Is it safe to stop this meds for a while?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Topiramate should not be stopped abruptly , if you have any problem with this drug, you should continue it taking till you see your neurologist who would then make a better plan ahead but generally we don't stop these drugs abruptly rather then to tapper it with some time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
