I'm the person who started this thread. The reason I asked for the Topamax was to shed the 54 lbs the Depakote put on me. My doc said had she known that topamax was available on my "free" program at the time, she would have prescribed it then, but my hair would have still fallen out (Depakote is evil, IMHO).The reason I asked for it was because my niece is on it and she has noticably lost weight. My doc confirmed that topamax was supposed to go on the market as a diet pill but there was too many politics surrounding it (don't know what the politics were). About the cognitive loss, that scares me. I'm in college now and pulling A's and B's. Don't want to lose that, but being fat REALLY disturbs me. I HATE myself for it. Dieting has worked for a little while, but I've put the weight right back on. Exercise is kind of tough, I live in Southwest Florida where it is ALWAYS hot. I can't afford a gym. What to do? What to do? Slim and stupid? Fat and hating myself, but smart.
