Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are unlikely due to medication
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query; I will guide you in best possible way.
Topiramate is anti epileptic drug; many times used in prophylactic treatment of migraine or to treat it. It is usually started in low dose and gradually increased.
See what your experiencing bloating, gases, and abdominal discomfort is potential side effects of most medicines. If loss of appetite persists, it needs to be evaluated from your treating doctor.
In addition, you are using very low dose of topiramate, so I think it is unlikely to be related to your medication.
Some other important side effects of it are easy fatigability, vision disturbances, and irritability and mood changes. If you anytime experience these symptoms, please get them evaluated from your treating doctor.
Eat many vegetables, drink plenty of water, and avoid junk food.
Syrup cremaffin once before going to bed will take care of your symptoms; your treating doctor will know its dose. It will help you clear your abdominal problems.
Wish you good health.
Hope this information helps.
