What is topiramate?

Topiramate is a prescription medication used to treat and prevent certain neurological conditions. It’s most commonly prescribed for:

  • Epilepsy (to control seizures)
  • Migraine prevention (not for treating active migraines)
  • Weight management (in combination with other medications)

Topiramate is usually taken once or twice a day, depending on the dose and reason it's prescribed. For seizure treatment, most people take it twice daily (morning and evening), especially at higher doses. Some extended-release forms are designed to be taken once a day.

How does topiramate work?

Topiramate works by calming overactive nerves in the brain. It helps restore balance between two important brain chemicals: GABA and glutamate.

GABA helps slow things down in the brain and keeps nerve activity under control. Glutamate does the opposite – it excites the nerves and gets them firing.

In conditions like seizures or migraines, the brain’s electrical signals can become too active or out of balance. Topiramate boosts the calming effects of GABA and reduces the stimulating effects of glutamate. This helps prevent the brain from becoming overstimulated, which can reduce seizures and lower the chances of a migraine starting.

How do I know if I qualify for topiramate?

You may qualify for topiramate if you have a condition it’s commonly used to treat, such as:

  • Epilepsy or certain types of seizures
  • Frequent migraines, especially if you need prevention more than just pain relief
  • Weight management needs, often in combination with another medication (off-label)
  • Binge eating disorder or alcohol dependence, in some cases (off-label)
  • A healthcare provider will consider your diagnosis, medical history, current medications, and risk of side effects before prescribing it.
