Topiramate

[onebusymum]

Has anyone been or on the above medication?
I have been on it for about six months now and where my headaches have decreased my eyesight, when reading/writing is shocking! Very blurred.
I've just picked up some new reading glasses today from a prescription that I had done just before I went on the medication and they are useless, so that's how much my eyes have changed.
It may be a coincidence with getting older, but I'm not sure about that!

Eye disorders are established side effects of topiramate. You need to contact your clinical team and explain what's happened.

Yeah, I took it for a few years. I was warned to stop taking it and contact my team urgently if my vision was affected - I’d contact yours as soon as you can.

Thank you.
I'll try and get an appointment on Monday , although with my doctors that is easier said than done!
