Body (muscle and joint) pain has not been reported as the withdrawal symptom when stopping topamax abruptly.

Rather unlikely to have a cause and effect outcome from topiramate after being off for several days. This persistent situation represents a new issue which needs an assessment by your doctor if it continues.
