Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You have migraine headache and has been prescribed Topiramate for prophylaxis. You are also a known case of bipolar disorder and are taking Ziprasidone for treatment. If we consider any drug interactions then taking both the drugs simultaneously is totally safe and is not associated with any serious drug interactions.

Mild increase in sedation, dizziness, slight irritability can occur with these drugs but over all both have no serious drug interactions.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
