"i have been over weight and suffer from depression for over 20 years,  i admit food was my best friend!!!  after hysterectomy doctor put me on hormone replacement medicine,  i  was so hungry  constantly , all i  could  think about was eating. then my doctor put me on topamax  and i love it!   i  went from 252 lbs to now 167 lbs. from size 22 now size 10.  i have  to  make  myself  eat,  never hungry,  and when i am  eating   i  just try to eat slowly,  and i  do drink  water now  because  even my favorite diet soda does taste terrible.  i  would  tell everyone  to try it!"
