What are the side effects of topiramate 150 mg?
Patient: hello doctor , m an epileptic paitent from last 3 years n taking topiramate 150 mg daily as per my neurologists prescribed ..... n from last few months m seeing some changes in my behaviour ..... i want to knw tht these changes of my behaviour are due to sideeffects of these medicines ... Doctor: Hi,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
