ABSTRACT
Topiramate (TPM) is a new potent antiepileptic drug (AED) used as add-on therapy for generalized and partial seizures that are resistant to the other AEDs; or as a mood stabilizer, and for reducing weight gain associated with olanzapine and clozapine in patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
