title: Topiramate-induced Dissociative Disorder.
abstract: Topiramate is associated with various psychiatric and neurocognitive side effects. We report a case of a 21-year-old woman who was prescribed topiramate for the treatment of migraine headaches by her neurologist. She developed episodes of dissociation while receiving topiramate. These episodes increased when the dose of medicine was increased. The frequency of these episodes decreased as the medicine dose was tapered down, and these episodes eventually stopped after the medicine was discontinued. There was no recurrence of symptoms during the 23-week follow-up period.
