Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Topamax (topiramate) is a seizure medicine, also called an anticonvulsant. Topiramate is used to treat seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old. You can talk to your doctor about withdrawing from this drug.

As for your question, there are no adverse reactions to this drug in the spectrum of learning disability. You need to consult the doctor again for learning disability spectrum disorder with some other causes.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
