Indications and Usage

  • Topiramate tablets USP are an antiepileptic (AED) agent indicated for:

Monotherapy epilepsy: Initial monotherapy in patients ≥10 years of age with partial onset or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. ADJUNCTIVE THERAPY EPILEPSY: Adjunctive therapy for adults and pediatric patients (2 to 16 years of age) with partial onset seizures or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and in patients ≥2 years of age with seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) .


  • Topiramate is most frequently prescribed for, the prevention of migraines. This drug is also widely used to treat migraines due to the effect it has on the blood vessels in the brain. It is used as a preventative for atypical migraine sufferers. It widens the blood vessels in the brain which become restricted by increased serotonin levels. It has been found to be increasingly effective for migraine sufferers with limited side effects.[1]
  • bipolar disorder,[2] and indicate that it may have mood stabilizing properties.[3] In 2006, a Cochrane review concluded that there is insufficient evidence on which to base any recommendations regarding the use of topiramate in any phase of bipolar illness.[4] Another meta-analysis published in the Lancet demonstrated that topiramate was of no significant benefit in the treatment of bipolar mania.[5]
  • sometimes use topiramate to augment psychotropics, or to counteract the weight gain associated with numerous antidepressants.
  • A more recent Cochrane review, published in 2010, suggested a benefit of topiramate in the treatment of symptoms of borderline personality disorder, however the authors note that this was based only on one randomized controlled trial and requires replication. Also the Authors noted that the long-term effects have not been studied.[6][7]

This drug has been investigated for use


  • Off-label and investigational uses of topiramate include the treatment of
  1. essential tremor,
  2. bulimia nervosa,[19]
  3. obsessive-compulsive disorder,
  4. alcoholism,[10]
  5. smoking cessation,[20]
  6. idiopathic intracranial hypertension,[21]
  7. cluster headache,[22],
  8. treatment-resistant depression,
  9. cocaine dependence, and
  10. Topiramate is also being studied with a mixture of phentermine to form a drug called Qsymia for the treatment of obesity.

On May 21, 2010, Ortho-McNeil pled guilty and was fined $6.14 million by the FDA for promoting Topamax to treat psychiatric disorders without applying for any Federal government approval. Also, there were no data from any well-controlled clinical trial to demonstrate that Topamax was safe and/or effective to treat any psychiatric conditions at all.[23][24]
