Topamax and Acne
Thu, 01/05/2006 - 08:40Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Has anyone experienced severe acne breakouts related to Topamax? Right now I have a huge zit (like 3 or 4 zits in one) on my chin. I was reading up and noticed that a side effect of the medication can be acne like this. What can be done about it?
Also, I haven't had seziures since I was 5. Well, I real seziure well I fell out and immobile for 2 minutes. Reading up on the website I come to realize that I still have small ones were I remain conscious (smells, hearings things, not being able to get words out or remember words, etc). I tried to go off of the mediciation about 2 years ago but when I was tested I had to much brain activity. My nuero stated that I was still in the grand mal stage.
Any suggestions?

Dear WildlyBeautiful, I had major acne breakouts on my face from Tegretol XR. Try Pro-Activ it works miracles!!!! I can't use it every day because I have really dry skin, so I use it every other day and it still works!!! I recommend it to everybody!!! AT least on Topomax you are supposed to lose weight. Tegretol makes you gain weight. So here I was, just turned 40, gained 30 lbs. in 3 months and had a facefull of acne. At least the acne is gone!!!
