How has Topamax affected your weight?

As for the weight loss, I noticed a decrease in appetite immediately. As my doctor gradually increased my dosage to therapeutic levels my energy level also increased.

It seems to have helped stabilize my mood without any side effects except for a *decrease* in appetite.


I lost a lot of weight (about 25 lbs) due to the Topamax, but most of it was excess weight, and now I'm back down to my normal weight. One of the main problems I had with the Topamax, for the first 6 or 8 months, was that I had no appetite for food.


I found this info at a different website. So I guess it does help in weight loss. Let mek know what your doctor says. I won't see mine until the 18th of March.
