Topamax (topiramate) affecting periods, last few months very heavy crazy cramps, this month light flow & cramps, mostly brown? possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Uncommon. You should consider the risk of possible birth defects from topamax (topiramate) too. We now know there is a small risk of neuroal tube defects resulting in spina bifida, cleft lip and cleft palate in women who become pregnant while taking topamax (topiramate).
