What Are The Side Effects Of Topamax?
I started taking topamax 50 mg to prevent migraines. I have been having some of the side effects listed here which I will tell my dr on 3/2. However I am experiencing an unusual phenomenon with my left eye the last 6,7 days. My eyelid feels like it s spasming against my eye. It is weird! Uncomfortable! Occurring since taking this med. Have you heard of this? The article states eye issues should be reported immediately.
