tdak Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi, Is anyone her taking Topamax and if so are you having bloodwork done to check kidney and liver functions? My doc wants me to have bloodwork done every 2 weeks to watch for these changes because of kidney stones. Thanks, Tamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 6, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 6, 2007 You should get the pharmacy to explain the side affects so that you fully understand the risks and the rewards for taking it. If you need it kidney stones are not that hard to treat these days. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 6, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 6, 2007 Topamax is related to eye problems as well. The VA hands it out like candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
