Had Bad Reaction While Taking Drugs Adding Topomax. Felt Like Floating, No Control Over Anything. Side Effects?

In 2000 I had a very bad reaction to taking all the drugs I had listed when adding Topamax to it. I literally floated out of my body and could see people behind me. This happened to me as I was driving as well and taking my daughter who was 14 to a friends house and sometimes I could see myself doing things but had no control over what I was doing. Needless to say I am no longer on these Meds cause I thought I was dying or was dead. Has anyone else had these kind of symptoms or side affects?

Dear friend,

Thanks for posting your query on this website. I can fully appreciate your concern for your problem.

May I assure you that Topomax, as such, do not cause the symptoms that you had in the past. They were probably due to other drugs that you were taking. I would request you to kindly forward me the names/salts of the other drugs taken along with Topomax. There is also a possibility that Topomax was potentiating the effects of the other drugs.

I am highly optimistic that you will certainly benefit from the advice.

May I assure you that I am always available for your assistance and will try my best to cure your condition to the best of my experience and knowledge.

Please feel free to revert back to me in case of further clarifications, if any.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

Fond Regards,

Dr.(Col) R Karanwal
