Taking Topamax and Alcohol Effects
Alcohol and Topamax taken together is dangerous. Mixing Topamax, branded topiramate with alcohol is known to cause drowsiness and dizziness. That’s why mixing Topamax with alcohol will worsen those symptoms. Alcohol is strictly discouraged while using this medication.
Topiramate and Alcohol Interactions
Avoid unwanted interactions with Topiramate and alcohol by excluding use of alcohol when using this medication. It’s also important to tell your physician about any routines you may have drinking alcohol, whether it’s all the time or once in a while. It only takes one time to mix the two to create a negative reaction.
What is Topamax (Topiramate)?
Topamax (topiramate) is an anticonvulsant prescription medication used to treat and prevent seizures (including those from epilepsy) in patients over two years of age. It can also be prescribed as a prophylactic (preventative) medication to stop migraines before they start in patients over 12, although it’s not effective to treat migraines.
Doctors are now prescribing Topamax to stabilize moods in patients with bipolar disorder, and the prescription is now being studied as a treatment for PTSD.
Topamax is taking orally and should be taken with plenty of fluids to prevent kidney stones from forming. In addition, topiramate may cause dehydration, especially in children, and has been reported to possibly cause vision problems.
There are some side effects which are possible while taking topiramate including drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, tingling of the hands/feet, loss of appetite, bitter taste, diarrhea and weight loss. Some patients may also experience mental side effects, such as confusion, memory problems or depression from Topamax and should contact their doctor immediately if they experience these or any other side effects.
