Well I have done some more research this combination is NOOO but i did learn the hard way first.... I decided to work out on the 7th and it was not a good idea I started to work out and I started to sweat than stopped and started getting goose bump and got really dizzy so I stopped and sat down, aparently this combintaion of medication blockes the ability to sweat and put the body temp very high!!! so I decided I would not take this medication anymore....

But when I went back to the doc today I had my blood tested I learned I was getting my migrains becasue of and iron deficiance so no more topamax!! Feeling so much better!!! Thank you guys so much for you post!!

I am very not familiar with either of these meds, but a quick search for information tells me that they are both very powerful and should be used with caution.  

I do not see where topamax is actually used as a weight loss drug.  Are you taking it specifically for weight loss, or is weight loss a side effect of the topamax?  

Due to the nature of these drugs, I strongly suggest that you contact your doctor for the information you are seeking.
