I want to know if can topiramate cause suicidal ideation and why.

Major Depression: Topiramate (Topamax) is for seizures and headaches. It may cause Depression, mood problems and suicidal ideations. Thank you for informing about Hiderax and Depression. Hiderax may cause depression; depression with hopelessness can have suicidal ideations. Discuss with Psychiatrist Diagnosis, Medication benefits and side effects, needed medications and dose; and Therapy for stress in your life.

Med side effect?: Depression is a side effect of topiramate. See prescribing doctor right away to review and consider stopping this med. You may benefit from an antidepressant for preexisting Major depression, which makes you more likely to have this topiramate side effect. For suicidal thoughts, go to urgent care or ER if you can't see doctor right away. See impt. safety info: http://www.topamax.com/tools-resources--safety-information.html Stay safe. I hope this helps.
