About 40% of people on Topamax develop low bicarb in the blood, and have an acidosis. Acidosis symptoms are similar to what you have already. So taking Topamax may not work for you, but there is no way to tell yet. Doctors received warning letters years ago to monitor serum bicarbonate levels. Ask your doctor if he will do this. If he doesn't understand the question I would not find that a good sign!

This is a link to a copy of the letter:
