Is anyone with open-angle glaucoma currently taking Topamax for migraine prevention? I'm?

Hi rjgausep,
I am in exactly the same situation as you. I know this post is old but I am trying to find answers to the same questions you asked . I was wondering if you ever did take the Topamax and if it had an adverse affects on your eyesight or glaucoma. Thank you

rjg; Even if you told the doctor that is giving you the Topamax, I think you should talk to your eye doctor's first. Whether you have started the medication or not. Please give your eye doctor a call as soon as you can. It is better to be safe than sorry. Here is what the info on side effect with eyes on the Topamax this is a copy and paste from this website at drugs.com So give your doctor a call and see what the eye doctor has to say.((((( Ocular
