Hi,
It may not be the medicine Topiramate can cause your symptoms of fainting, dizziness, headache. But these symptoms can be due to something else and cerebral pathology needs to be ruled out. If the Topiramate creates the doubt then for migraine Ergot combination can be used but prior to this underlying cause of symptoms needs to be found out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
