"update i started topamax a week ago tomorrow 50mg at night and i have lost 5 lbs i&#039;m 5&#039;3&quot; and started at 157lbs i am at the dr.s now stepped on the scale and i&#039;m at 152 so i couldn&#039;t be happier...i have very minimal side effects taking them at night helps with those i sleep very well and i have had some tingling fingers but nothing unbearable...all in all i am very happy with the 5 lbs  lost in 6 days looking forward to more weight loss in one more week i do increase my dosage to 100 mg so we shall see about those side effects...but if things keep going the way then i might stay on them for a while"
