My doctor is currently weaning me off Depakote and I will be starting Topamax next week. The reason for the switch is because I gained quite a bit of weight in a short period of time, despite the fact that I regularly run marathons and run about 34-40 miles a week. I was wondering if anyone else is taking Topamax and is also an endurance athlete that trains at a relatively high level? What kind of effects has it had on your training and performance? I've read about the many other side effects of the drug, but this is of particular concern since I take my running very seriously. Thanks for any input!
