"i&#039;m definitely losing weight extremely fast with this medication. i took 25 mg at night the first 30 days and i&#039;m now on the start of the third month at 50 mg at night, also, 37.5 mg adipex every morning. with topamax i cannot eat. everything i eat makes me sick. it definitely changes you&#039;re sense of taste and smell which has pretty much stopped my smoking. so, there are huge benefits just the side effects can be a little unbearable at times. i&#039;ve lost 28.7 pounds in 2 months"
