> --->PodwomanI was on it for some time (several months) I think I only took 100mgs 2x a day....For me, there were no side-effects...Im sorry, I cant help you on the weight issue, I never gained or loss weight while on topamax or zonegran...but I was also taking other meds (for both epilepsy and major depression/social phobia) I was on Nardil at the time, and Nardil seems to cause weight gain in a lot of people from what I hear, but I never gained any weight, so maybe the zonegran helped with that, but Im not sure... Zonegran and Topamax are very different drugs, zonegran has some positive effects on dopamine
