Storm rider I think the world of you and was so concerned dear, so sorry to have been so worried that I infiltrated your words of wisdom and unfortunately to no prevail never to have impacted my forever dwindling pocketbook. I think I shall move out of the good ole bay area /silicon valley near beautiful San Francisco to Canada... I now feel educated on the fact that yes a generic form exists in North America!!

All NDAs and ANDAs and medications in general can be searched at Drugs@FDAhttp://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name
These are letters of approval and additional correspondances.
There appear to be ANDAs for generics communicating with the FDA between 2003 and 2005 for topiramate, which was first filed in 1996 as Topamax. This indicates that a generic may come in the following years, possibly.
