It is studied that topamax can cause electrolytes balances, particularly decreased levels of bicarbonate in the blood. The imbalanced symptoms include fatigue and loss of appetite. If the electrolyte imbalance is left untreated, it can prevent the risk of kidney and bone problems. Besides, patients treated with topamax have an increased risks of developing kidney stones. To lower this risk, patients should increase their fluid intake while taking topamax.
