Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been suffering from epilepsy since 1995. In 2006 my medication was changed to topomax which caused me to react with hallucinations and hearing voices. I stopped taking the medicine in 2009 and appeared to have a complete breakdown of some kind and now that I am no longer hallucinating and hearing voices, I can no longer focus, concentrate, remember things, or work in a cereer I worked in for sixteen years because. What is wrong with me?
Hello Welcome to HCM. Topamax is not a first line anti-epileptic. The symptoms which you have mentioned are the side effects of topamax. It can sometime cause a psychotic reaction leading to hallucination and hearing voices. I think you should visit a psychiatrist for proper evaluation. Hope this helps you. Thanks
