Side Effects

Some people taking this drug have developed a form of the serious eye disease called glaucoma, which left untreated, can cause vision loss. If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking topiramate and seek emergency medical attention: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); blurred vision, changes in vision, or pain in or around the eyes worsening of seizures.
