"awful.  i lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks before i had to quit topamax due to side effects, which were terrible.  they included:  memory loss and &quot;senior moments&quot; which increased 10-fold, i think this medicine dropped my iq at least 15 points, that &quot;i&#039;m not part of this world&quot; feeling of disconnectedness; and overheating to the point that i simply could not work out.

gained the 10 pounds back within 3 weeks of quitting."
