Ive been on Topamax since for 3 months for migraines and have lost 30 pounds, I simply am not hungry. At this point its not worrisome as I did have a little extra weight to lose, but I cant keep it up forever. My doctor lowered my dose from 100 Mg, to 75 mg, which I split and take 50 mg in the morning and 25 in the evening, it has not made a difference. I had a tremor prior to Topamax, which my neurologist thought would be less with the Topamax but in fact it was increased, so I had to start another drug, Mysoline to counteract the tremor. Ive been on that for about a month and it seems to be helping some, Im at least back to baseline. I recently learned that my potassium level has decreased which is causing muscle cramps and can cause many other more life threatening problems, so please watch out for that! It is a listed, albeit less common side effect of Topamax. (0.4%). You Dr. should have checked basic metabolic panel (BMP) and should check it regularly. Oh, and IM MIGRAINE FREE!
