Subject: side effects of Topamax

Can I ask what are some of the side effects of Topamax? Does it also cause delayed menses?


Answer from DepNet

Hi,

Some common side effects include dizziness, tiredness, nausea, weight loss, anorexia and nervousness. It is reported in the studies that Topamax could cause menstrual irregularities [incidence of 1-2% (less common)]. You may want to check further with your doctor whether your delayed menses could be caused by Topamax.
