Myhusband has been on this mdeication for 4 weeks now,, He suffers from epilepsy and was on dilantin for almost 2 years. Unfortunately he wasnt able to maintain the correct level for the dilantin to be effective and is now being weaned off of it and onto the Topamax..Myself and my whole family have noticed a significant change in his personality and moodiness, he is always tired and seems to be more depressed then before.. After some of his comments today that he has said to be and reading the postings on here, I will be contacting his neurologist on Tuesday (like I'll be able to get in touch with him on xmas,, NOT) and get him off this and onto something else.. As far as the weight loss, I haven't noticed any difference, he has commented about the tingling in his fingers.

the tingling in his fingers is the only thing i can help you with, if he takes extra Vitamin C it will help him as it did me. Now I am off of Topomax (or as some like to call it (dopomax from how tired you get) I have been on Zonegran instead and the side effects for me are much much much less severe only tired.
