The estimated incidence of seizures is approximately 0.1% at dosages up to 300 mg/day and 0.4% at dosages between 300 to 450 mg/day, but increases almost tenfold between 450 mg and 600 mg/day. The risk may also be increased during coadministration with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anorectics), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, neuroleptic agents, central nervous system stimulants, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, phenothiazines), systemic steroids, and/or any substance that can reduce the seizure threshold (e.g., carbapenems, cholinergic agents, fluoroquinolones, interferons, chloroquine, mefloquine, lindane, theophylline). These agents are often individually epileptogenic and may have additive effects when combined.
MANAGEMENT: Extreme caution is advised if bupropion is administered with any substance that can reduce the seizure threshold, particularly in the elderly and in patients with a history of seizures or other risk factors for seizures (e.g., head trauma; brain tumor; severe hepatic cirrhosis; metabolic disorders; CNS infections; excessive use of alcohol or sedatives; addiction to opiates, cocaine, or stimulants; Diabetes treated with oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin). Bupropion as well as concomitant medications should be initiated at the lower end of the dose range and titrated gradually if feasible. The total dose of bupropion should generally not exceed 450 mg/day (or 150 mg every other day in patients with severe hepatic cirrhosis). Bupropion should be discontinued and not restarted in patients who experience a seizure during treatment.
buPROPion and topiramate (Moderate Drug-Drug) MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
NO! Even though Topamax and Depakote are used to treat a lot of the same things, Depakote can cause interactions with Topamax. If your doctor prescribed both prescriptions to you, I would call a Walgreen's or CVS and ask a pharmacist. They usually have one specifically to answer questions about medications. But even the website for the makers of depakote and topamax said they shouldn't be taken together.
An maoi refers to "monoamine oxidase inhibitors," which is a kind of antidepressant that affects serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain. Topamax is a medication that alleviates migraine headaches. Topamax is not an maoi.
Yes, lisinopril and Topamax (topiramate) can generally be taken together, as there are no direct drug interactions between them. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider before combining medications, as individual health conditions and other medications can influence safety. Always follow your doctor's guidance regarding dosage and potential side effects.
you cannot mix diphenhydramine or acetaminophen with topiramate or topamax. I am unclear why, just that my doctor told me not to do so.
Did not know this med could help with that. Concerned about a family member with a problem like this.
Topamax (topiramate) is an anticonvulsant (antiseizure medication).This came from the Topamax (topiramate) web site:Can I take TOPAMAX with other prescription medications?Tell your healthcare professional about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. TOPAMAX and certain other medicines can affect each other. Sometimes the dose of some of your other medicines or TOPAMAX will have to be adjusted. Especially, tell your healthcare professional if you are taking:Other medicines that impair or decrease your thinking, concentration, or muscle coordination (e.g. central nervous system depressant medicines)Birth control pills. TOPAMAX may make your birth control pills less effective. Tell your healthcare professional if your menstrual bleeding changes while you are taking birth control pills and TOPAMAX.Another web site (healthsquare.com)offered this information:Possible food and drug interactions when taking TopamaxReturn to topIf Topamax is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Topamax with:Acetazolamide (Diamox)Carbamazepine (Tegretol)Dichlorphenamide (Daranide)Digoxin (Lanoxin)Metformin (Glucophage)Phenytoin (Dilantin)Pioglitazone (Actos)Oral contraceptivesValproic acid (Depakene)Topamax can depress the central nervous system. Be extremely cautious about combining it with alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, and other central nervous system depressants. Topamax is an anticonvulsant. From the above information, it appears that there would be no conflict with Topamax and an antibiotic such as Amoxicillin.

Yes. They can be taken together.
Yes they can be taken together and have moderate interactions.
