Risk vs benefit: Check out http://www.Drugs.Com/disease-interactions/topiramate, topamax.Html which discusses risk of metabolic acidosis especially in those w/heart failure who take topiramate. It's important that you analyze w/prescribing doctor your individual risks & benefits from this medication. Ask about alternatives that may have lower risk.
