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.

Tetany is caused by?
Tetanus (Clostrudium tetani toxin) gets its name from its ability to cause tetany. The most common cause is low serum calcium levels which can be caused by parathyroid hormone or vitamin D deficiency. Hyperventilating or other acid-base problems can shift the binding of calcium and cause effectively low levels and tetany. Low magnesium and excess potassium can also do it.
What hormones released by parathyroid gland?
The function of the parathyroid glands is to secrete parathyroid hormone, which causes the release of the calcium present in bone to extracellular fluid (ECF). The ECF is the fluid found outside cells in all body tissues. PTH does this by activating the production of osteoblasts, special cells of the body involved in the production of bone and slowing down osteoclasts, other specialized cells involved in the removal of bone.

Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?
Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.

What would cause depressed levels of calcium after a thyroidectomy?
The parathyroid glands are located behind the thyroid gland and are often accidentally removed with the thyroid in a thyroidectomy. The parathyroid gland makes parathyroid hormone (PTH), which normally causes an increase in blood calcium levels. If the parathyroid is lost, so is the PTH, and thus the blood calcium is lower.
