Topiramate is commonly prescribed to treat various seizure disorders. Its common side effects include confusion, drowsiness, fatigue, lack of concentration, visual disturbances, diarrhea, and anorexia. Other side effects include psychomotor disturbance, impaired memory, speech disturbance, and depression.
If you experience behavior changes during the course of treatment you need to stop taking topiramate and ask your doctor for an alternate effective but a safer medication to control the seizures.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
