Thanks for the response, I talked to my doctor about it once and she told me to lower my dose or topamax which hasn't helped at all. I can't really stay away from the smell of pollen, since it is everywhere and it drives me nuts. It is so strong for me but no one else smells it, I don't know what else to do. My doctor did not give me any other solutions and I don't really want to go completely off the topamax and don't know if that would even help. I don't have too much trouble breathing because of the smell, a little but mostly it is just such a strong smell.
