"i have struggled for years with what i thought was just a problem with controlling my hunger, i would never eat around anyone and then once everyone was asleep i was starved. i finally seen a psychiatrist for my add symptoms and while he was modifying my medication he diagnosed me with binge eating disorder. to my surprise he was right. i had no control. i had always bounced on diets. he started me on topamax 25mg and i knew instantly it will work. it has a calming affect. i feel so full and i am going to bed without eating for the first time in years. i am very thankful. not every medication is for everyone.  i am pleased with this one so far."
