Topanax Blurry Vision

Posted by vinesign on July 30, 2006, at 1:59:51

I'm on day 3 of Topamax and am just at 25 mg. Already I have blurry vision. Last time I tried this drug several years ago the same side effect hit in 3 days. At that time, I chose to go off the drug because it was when the warnings from the FDA and others were just released regarding acute myopia and secondary angle closure glaucoma -- basically severe nearsightedness and vision loss that cannot be reversed. And symptoms typically occurred within the first month of therapy.

I plan to report my blurry vision to my PDoc on Monday but am inclined to stop taking the Topamax although I've read that this drug could really help me for depression and borderline personality disorder.

Thus my questions -- has anyone else on this board experienced blurry vision with Topamax and stuck with it? Did your doctor carefully monitor you? Did you consult/work with an eye doctor too?

Most importantly, did the blurry vision go away over time?

Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this and giving me such helpful answers!!
