Yes - this happened to me and I am still having GI problems years later. I never had a oroblem until I was put on the Topramax. I will NEVER take it again.
It should have a big warning on it!

I was prescribed topamx as a mood stabilizer because other antidepressants had not worked well for me. Topamax was sort of a last result…it has also worked wonderfully. I've gained a few pounds though which shocked me.

I take Topamax for my seizures & I was also experiencing stomach pain. I decided to start taking it after I ate & ever since I started doing that, I stopped having stomach pain!

That's the way I was! I'm taking Topamax for my seizures & I had been having stomach pain for years! Finally I decided to start taking it after I ate. Once I started doing that, I didn't have any problems with my stomach! It does say that you can take with or without food, but if you're having stomach pain, you should take with food. You should do that with any pill.

Telling someone to stop taking a med because it insults you is, quite frankly, narcissistic and downright rude.
For myself, it hit my stomach like a ton of bricks. I started drinking a mixture of a tsp of baking soda with 8 oz of water when I wake up, eat half my breakfast, take my Topamax, then eat the rest of the breakfast. Followed by lots of water through the day. I still get a nagging in my stomach, but no real pain.

As soon as I started Topamax I started having stomach pain. I developed a flare up of my diverticulitis and even after antibiotics cleared it up I was still having severe abdominal pain. Three ER visits in 3 weeks and they couldn't find anything wrong with me. I stumbled across this thread, threw my Topamax away, and two days off the medication and I already feel 90% better. Doctor's are idiots.
