A member asked:
If i have had a cough for the past month is it ok that i am taking topamax (topiramate) prescribed for weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hi, topamax (topiramate) should not cause any change to your immunity. However can cause dry mouth and nervousness that may exacerbate an underlying vocal tic (cough). I would look for other causes of the cough, but the only way to be sure would be to come off the topamax (topiramate).
