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.
