Hi,
I took Topamax and hated the side effects. When I started taking it, I was fed up with the weight gain from lithium. Try anything else first, diet, exercise, a different medication, lowering the dosage if possible. I would only recommend it if your weight is a risk to your health. I was 25 lbs overweight, which is a lot but at the time I was impatient and probably could have taken the weight off myself if I had just waited till I was less busy. Also, Topamax had been under clinical trials for weight loss and the trials usually didn't finish because people couldn't deal with the side effects. Some articles about it on www.qualitycounts.com.
Search under Topamax.Good luck
