Reading the posts, I think we're talking about two separate things. Someone taking topomax for epilepsy and someone taking it for weight gain. I'd be a lot more cautious drinking with meds for epilepsy. I'm on 50 mg. of topomax as a mood stabilizer and if I'm going to drink, I don't take my meds that evening. The warning on my bottle says alcohol may intensify the effects, but topomax doesn't make me sleepy, it makes me a tad tense. As for the weight loss, like I said before, I lost 30ish pounds, but I don't know if that is because I'm not taking Paxil or other meds that helped me gain weight, or if it's the topomax. I do take clonazepam at night to help me sleep cuz the topomax keeps me awake and I still lost weight. I'm shrugging.
