What Causes Nausea And Dizziness After Taking Topamax?

I took 12.5 mg of Topamax for migraine prevention last evening. It caused severe insomnia and night sweats. I had the normal side effects my Neuro warned me of. But today I have felt horrible...nausea..dizziness...extremely tired. I am not sure if I should take tonights dosage.

Hello
Welcome here.
You have developed side effects of topamax.
I think you should avoid further doses of topamax. The side effects you mention suggest that you are intolerable to topamax.
Revisit your doctor for change of drug.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
