"i have been on topamax for around two months. i decided to go on them because i weighed around 105 kgs, i was feeling depressed and i couldn&#039;t stop binge eating. through topamax, i have lost 10 kgs in one month (that would be around 22 pounds). i feel so much better. my urge to binge eat is gone. i feel human again. i don&#039;t feel any side effects. i sleep better than before, i drink more water than before (as much as i should drink, before i didn&#039;t drink at all and had problems with my kidneys). when i first started topiramate, i got double vision. i read that this was a common side effect and saw my eye doctor about it. she said that it was because my vision improved a great deal. so, thank you topamax, my health greatly improved."
