So far retina Dr was unaware of topamax being a problem . Today my pressure was 17 and 15. And neurology Dr did not know about that . Topamax generic manuf, called me back today and confirmed that the drug does raise eye pressure , they are calling my dr to talk to him. Thanks for your help. I have been on this 25 mg 7 days and 50mg 5 days so far. Going to see my glaucoma dr 10.22.16.
That's raise my pressure ( sorry typo )
Do you know how long it would take for topamax to raise my presume if I am on timinol, brimonidine, 2 times a day and latanaprost at bed time both eyes.
Neurology r put me on topamax for migraines after eye surgery.
Your symptoms strongly suggest migraine and that is obviously what the neurologist thought as topomax is for migraine prevention. If you look at the product information brochure you will not it can cause acute glaucoma. The side effects you describe are enough to switch medicine. I would strongly suggest you contact your neurologist and tell him/her that the side effects are more than you can take. There are other medications available.
As associate and I are studying using beta blocker glaucoma eye drops for treating acute migraines. See this link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25211851 and http://www.headaches.org/2014/10/15/beta-blocker-eye-drops-may-alleviate-migraine-pain/ and http://ophthalmologytimes.modernmedicine.com/ophthalmologytimes/news/acute-migraine-sufferers-may-find-relief-beta-blocker-eye-drops
You might want to print those out and ask your neurologist about a trial.
