"i was prescribed this medication about 2 years ago for my cyclic vomiting syndrome. this first i took it, i had a bad experience and had to stop but after a year my doctor suggested that we try again. it has been a full year now. since then i didn&#039;t have any weight change however; in october - she added another management pill to my list in addition to the topiramate and i have lost almost 30 lbs. i started at 199 lbs and as of today, i am down to 175 lbs. i was a size 16 jean and bought a size 10 jean today. i have been very unhappy about my weight since my daughter was born but recently, i am finding myself quite happier. i am averaging 1-3 lbs weight loss every 2 weeks"
