A member asked:

My topamax (topiramate) for migraine causes numbness in my feet, what helps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: Topamax (topiramate) needs to be taken regularly to help prevent migraines. The numbness is fairly common and can improve or resolve even with continued use of topamax (topiramate). The only other options are to reduce the topamax (topiramate) dose or stop it completely.
