Not directly: This is a very "heavy duty" medication with numerous side effects. One of these is dry mouth. This could make you more susceptible to thrush. If you are having adverse side effects please consult with your doctor to see if they can switch you to a different medication that you might be able to tolerate better. Do not stop topiramate with out consulting your doctor first.
