Chest Pain From Topiramate 25mg

I was recently prescribed Topiramate 25mg tablet to aid in post-concussion. After taking 1 pill last night, I am experiencing sharp chest pains, feeling like a bad case of heartburn. Is this a common reaction? I hesitate to take another pill again as I don't feel this is tolerable.

Hi Teddy,

Based on my research, chest pain and heartburn are both listed as side effects of Topiramate. Of the two side effects, chest pain is actually regarded as something serious that should be reported to your doctor immediately.

In my opinion, it probably wouldn't be wise to take any more than you have to until you're able to get ahold of your doctor. Hopefully he or she can then suggest a safer alternative in the meantime.

I hope this helps!
