What Causes Blood In Urine While On Topamax?

I began taking Topamax last week and a day or so later noticed bloody looking urine and also when I blew my nose(alergies) also bloody. Then I realised my stool was also bloody. It took me a while to put two and two together, stopped the topamax. Was that the right thing to do. was it the topomax. and will this clear up are is there something to worry about?

hi
thanks for using health care magic.
Topamax ( Topiramte ) can cause these side effects, these are the rare side effects of this drug. you were right in stopping the culprit drug, but if you are taking it for seizure then you must consult your doctor immediately other wise you may have withdrawl seizure. other wise also you need to consult your doc. thanks.
