Is topamax (topiramate) dangerous ? what's the reason it can cause me to be so weak and tingling hands ?

Short answer-dangerous if you're pregnant, otherwise relatively safe.: Tingling sensation, irritability, insomnia, weakness at times, confusion and weight loss are common side effects of Topamax (topiramate). Certainly, depends on the dose taken
