Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Before proceeding to adding any medication you must consult with your treating physician as some drugs must never be self-administered, especially with drugs like topiramate which is classified as an anti-epileptic drug (a drug to treat epilepsy) and that has a significant adverse effects profile, most importantly in people with pre-existing psychiatric conditions as it may worsen the depression, mood swings, and somnolence (sleepiness).
That having been said, Venlax (velafaxine) and topiramate do not exhibit drug-drug interaction.
