Dear Ask The Doctor: I have been taking Topiramate 100 mg for months for migrains , I have had diarrhea daily ,night and day several times a day for months.Is it the meds Iam taking or something else and is this safe?
Dear Suzanne: Topamax or topiramate is an anticonvulsant drug. Along with the many side-effects of the drug, loose stools is also one of them. However, the symptoms of loose stool could also be related to IBS that you have mentioned. I would suggest that you consult your doctor to see whether the loose stool is related to the drug or not. |
