obesity
"After getting a blistering skin rash from Lamictal, Topamax was prescribed.  It did decrease my appetite- I went from 209 lbs back to my regular 135 which I hadn't been in 7 years. This took place in about 10 months.  At abt the same time I started taking it, I was rearended and suffered a MTBI and scored very low on my neuropsych exam. My old psychiatrist retired and the new psychiatrist is against Topamax bc of the "foggy" side effects that are common.  Now, a little over a year later, I feel ok abt this med considering the alternatives- wish there were better alternatives!"
