Can You Suddenly Stop Taking Topiramate?

No, you should not suddenly stop taking topiramate. Abruptly stopping topiramate can lead to withdrawal symptoms, including seizures. If you need to stop taking topiramate, your doctor will likely gradually reduce your dose over several weeks to minimize the risk of withdrawal symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions when stopping any medication.
