Has anyone else experienced tardive dyskinesia or throat discomfort while weening off Topiramate?

I’ve been on topiramate for 2 years now. 25mg in the AM & 50mg at bedtime.  

I’ve decided to ween off this med & I’ve completed the first week of weening. First week I stopped taking the morning 25mg. Haven’t even started weening another 25mg yet. All seemed fine till the last day or so. I’ve been having symptoms of tardive dyskinesia & i keep clenching my teeth unknowingly & seem to move my tongue a lot within my mouth. Now I feel like my throat is irritated and has something in it. I think it’s the muscles that work the tongue & jaw becoming fatigued & creating this discomfort in my throat.
