there are tons of old threads with great info on topamax, so i'd do a search for more specific help as relates to taking it for a tremor. i can say that the bad tastes, nausea, etc., went away after awhile. the key was just to titrate s-l-o-w-l-y. i'm currently at 200mg for BPII. like carole, i have also lost some weight, but not "too much" (dang it!) and feel more motivated.
it's not for everyone. i won't pretend that i didn't have an absolute bear of a time getting adjusted to it. one thing that was unexpected was that i became unable to tolerate alcohol. now it makes me exceedingly ill to drink, but i consider that a positive side effect.
good luck!
