Hi Diane,
Yes, and I’ve tried to add this couple of place. Topamax can cause glaucoma, but it also can cause permanent decreased vision. I was searching everywhere on the net for others…I read an article published in the New England journal of ophthalmology which acknowledges this. Rare, but I took it for 9 days and I have permanent far sightedness. I am 45, so one is to expect that at some point, but it happened overnight, I woke up and could not see at all up close. My doctor told me to go off it and the vision would go back to normal, but it never did. I wear those stupid one dollar reading glasses, 2X for vision, it did improve about 25%, but that’s it, it is gone. I have little luck finding other who experienced this because as I said, it is rare, but it did happen top me. Most people love it, especially for weight loss. It is being prescribed “off label’ for EVERYTHING. Ok, I am exaggerating, but for a lot of other thighs. Be careful.

Lori
