What Causes Green Material In The Urine?

I have been taking Topiramate for 7 weeks now for migraines. I had been taking 50mg a day for 6 weeks and then my doctor increased it to 100mg a day. Ever since I started taking it I have had light green pieces in my urine. I know they aren t kidney stones because the pieces are soft. I have had kidney stones in the past. These pieces aren t very painful, but they do feel a bit weird as they come out. I m just wondering what they could be. I am also wondering if it is normal to lose a lot of weight with Topiramate because so far I have already lost 10lbs. I am 22 and weigh about 125lbs.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Green color urine - condition characterised by markedly increased
verdohemoglobin in the urine,which fluoresces with UV light,a sign of
fulminant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection & is not related to drug
intake.
* Weight loss is acceptable side effect with Topiramate , so discuss with
your doctor to change the molecule & consult with expert Urologist to get
urine culture & get proper management of green urine .
Hope this helps you.
Welcome for any further query.
