Topomax can decrease your ability to sweat and therefore increase the chance of you getting hyperthermic, developing heat stroke. It is not an absolute contrandication to using it but it is something everyone needs to be aware of. FYI
Did you also know that Topomax has also been found to have very positive effects on alcoholism (changes brain chemistry so the individual no longer craves alcohol), and diabetic neuropathies where it has the effect of repairing peripheral nerves that have been damaged by the elevated sugar levels seen in diabetics.
I have been very impressed by Topomax's effect on alcoholics and people with obesity. I haven't tried it on anyone with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
