I'm on 100 mg Topamax is a medication you can't just suddenly stop. Or is there no harm in continuing Topamax while undergoing surgery? Will I be able to take it along with my pain prescription?
Answer: Mommy makeover Thank you for your question. It is very important that you inform your surgeon of any and all medications that you are taking prior to surgery. Your surgeon will then advise you as to how you should take your medication prior to surgery and what to do post surgery.With kind regards,Lane F.

Answer: Topamax During a Mommy Makeover If a patient of mine needed to continue use of #Topamax to control #migraines, during a Mommy Makeover or any other procedure, I would be fine with it. However, your board-certified surgeon may feel differently depending on your procedure plan and medical #history. Therefore, its best to ask your surgeon this and about any additional medications you wish to include the day of your procedure.

Answer: Topamax during surgery Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your upcoming procedure. It is always important to discuss all medications that you are currently taking with your surgeon and anesthesiologist to ensure your safety before, during, and after surgery. This includes herbals, supplements, and over-the-counter medications. It is typically safe to continue topamax and to use it with pain medication, but clear it with your surgeon. Best wishes.
