Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Topamax

Hi I went on Topamax 6 weeks ago. I am on 400 mg a day. I now have GERD. I put my self on an Alkaline diet, but tired, I m cold, I have no energy, I feel slow in my thinking. I have no motivation. I am over weight from coming off Depokote even it worked. I want to be healthy but how can I when I feel like crap? I don t even want to eat but have to because with the GERD I have to eat every 3 hours something Alkaline but small. Yes I emailed my Neurologist in Denver yesterday. Haven t heard back yet

Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to Topomax however you need to get thyroid profile done as well though less Likely but sugar levels may also be monitored.

Meanwhile, motility agents like domperidone and antacids like omeprazole before meals can be helpful. Supplements for calcium, D3, B12 and folic acid may also be helpful to resume energy levels. Slowly withdrawal of Topomax may be advised by a neurologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
