Rare : Can stop topomax per your dr to see if asthma goes away & see if comes back on when re-started. Did you have asthma or rad to begin? Can see rhinitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, cough, bronchitis, & dyspnea w/ topomax, especially at beginning of treatment & these seem to go away after a few weeks. True asthma would be rare & considered idiosyncratic.
