"i recently went back to the dr. for antidepressants. she wanted to put me on a mood stabalizer. most of those cause weight gain so i said not if its going to make me huge. she gave topamax. said i will lose weight. within about 6 months none of my clothes fit so i weighed myself. i was shocked i had gotten back down to numbers i haven&#039;t seen since i was a teen. 119-123. i&#039;m 5&#039;2&quot; so to me that&#039;s perfect. food is never on my mind unless my stomach starts growling. i forget to eat. this drug is great for people who have problems with weight. i don&#039;t get any other side effects. it doesn&#039;t make me a zombie. i take 50mg near bed time. i know it&#039;s  for seizures &amp; migraine. sometimes mood. needs to be for weight loss too. highly recommended!!"
