Can topiramate induce pruritus? A case report and review of literature.
A 41-year-old woman with Major Depressive Disorder-Recurrent was treated with topiramate at 150 mg/day. After this administration, she developed intense pruritus and skin lesions due to scratching. Consequently, she was weaned off topiramate and the lesions regressed. Pruritus and cutaneous lesions are extremely rare side effects of topiramate, so we report an interesting case of skin reaction to this drug.

Case series report of presence of pruritus in five patients taking topiramate for treatment of epilepsy. This is a benign side effect of topiramate not previously reported that interfered with seizure treatment. Four out of five patients have previous history of antiepileptic drug (AED) allergy. Only one patient improved with a very slow titration, three of them discontinued treatment and one remained on a sub-therapeutic dose.
