Does topamax (topiramate) ever cause permanent memory impairment? i have been off the drug for 1.5 weeks and still have short-term memory problems and anomia.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topamax (topiramate): Usually topamax (topiramate) does not cause permanent brain damage or memory loss when topamax (topiramate) washes out these side effects should usually go away.
