Re: Topamax - muscle fatigue and short of breath

SLS,

I definitely had muscle fatigue and shortness of breath with Topamax, along with every other SE listed. The overall fatigue and cognitive problems were so debilitating that I just ignored the muscle fatigue and SOB. However, everything got much worse above 50mg and I had to stop at 100mg. I think I had metabolic acidosis, but no one ever thought to check bicarb levels. I did check with urine test strips, but the pH level indicator does not go lower than 5.5. While decreasing the Topamax dose, my urine pH did increase.
