Generic Topamax
Tue, 11/07/2006 - 09:28Topic: Medication Issues
Does anyone know if there will be an generic brand of Topamax coming out any time in the near future? My daughter (21) has gotten great results from the brand Topamax but her new insurance won't pay for it so she's just stopped using it. She has focal seizures but also uses this to control her migraines. Needless to say her headaches have gotten out of control. I had read somewhere (but can't remember where) that a generic Topamax will be on the market sometime in the near future. If anyone has any information on this or knows where I can go to find out, please respond. Thanks for any help.

Topiramate received final approval for marketing in the US on
December 1996 and is labeled for use as an anticonvulsant.
Topamax was released 1995.
