A member asked:

Can topamax (topiramate) help with chronic serious muscle tightness related to nervous system? help with anything else or does it only help w headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Impossible to say: Your description is too vague ss numerous issues can cause muscle pain. You need to provide specifics as to diagnosis, not just vague symptoms.
