I JUST stopped taken 200mg of Topamax 2 times a day. i was experiencing swollen ankles. SO swollen i could barely walk. did anyone else have that bad of swelling? Taste was changed. My left eye went an changed on me. OVER NIGHT! i took a nap an woke up an my left eye was not wanting to focus with glasses on. I had my eyes checked. they said my left eye was dramatically changed. So took a nap, woke up, eye changed.. am i the only one this happened too? I experienced so many BAD side effects i stopped taking Topamax. i know im taking the chance of seizures and migraines but i couldnt handle the swelling, it was just unbearable!! pain would shoot through my body and many other things. Who else had a bad experience with Topamax?

I am very sorry about the problems you've had.

According to the side effects listed by the FDA, the vision issues are very common, even the rapid change.

Pain, taste perversion and edema have also been reported as occurring in people that take it.

Have you consulted your doctor? There are other medications that you can try that may not cause you such annoying side effects.

I also found out im not epileptic but im haven pseudo-seizures so hes glad i stopped the meds bc he said i was maken everything up...truth pseudo-seizures are real just caused by stress an other things. Honestly dont know what to think of my Dr.
