Yes, if your health care provider does not follow up properly. Topamax killed my mother in 2007. She was a healthy 41 year old and was taking the medicine for migraine relief and suddenly went into cardiac arrest and lost all brain activity. It was found that the Topamax caused Metabolic Acidosis, which was not caught due to lack of bloodtesting by her doctor. The condition ultimately cause her organs to shut down.
The medication worked great for her, but little did she know, it would take her life. If you are taking topamax, please be on top of your doctor visits and if you start to notice ANY questionable symptoms, go in for bloodwork.

Can topamax cause parathyroid problems?
My husband has been on topamax for about 4 years. He now has osteoporosis and a parathyroid adenoma with constant severe bone pain, extreme exhaustion and night sweats. As soon as we took him off of topamax his pain level improved. I know that topamax can cause osteoporosis. If he weren't a 49 year old fit male, I'm sure they'd just assume the osteoporosis was primary, rather than secondary to a parathyroid problem. I'm convinced everything is related to the topamax, but I have no proof.
