On 75mg topamax (topiramate) for migrane, having heart palps several times a day. is this a common side effect? and if so will it go away or should i be seen?

Not common: Palpitations are not a common side effect of topamax (topiramate) but they are listed as a possible side effect. You should see your doctor. You may not need all 75 milligrams, or the palpitations may resolve if related to topamax (topiramate).
