From Medications and Mothers milk book :

"Topamax is a new anticonvulsant used in controlling refractory partial
seizures. Very little is known about this new product except that it is
secreted in the milk of rodents in unreported amounts. Its ability to
penetrate the CNS, its rather long half life and its effect on reducing
cognition would not make this a preferred product for breastfeeding mothers
nor their infants. The potential benefit of the mother must be weighed
against to potential risk to the infant."
