I was on topamax last year. It was hard for my doctor to get me to a good dose without more side effects than it was worth. I was still rapid cycling (I have bipolar disorder) And it interfered with my birth control and now i have a four month old. So now my doctor and I are trying again since i had to go unmedicated during pregnancy. I am on zonegran now. I have to admit I noticed soda tastes weird. But its really a good thing so now i want less of it. I am less hungry. I got stomach aches the first few days but it has eased up. I have not been on it long enough to gauge the weight loss yet. I can feel that I am balancing out again. My mania is calming down a lot. The grocery store gets me for over 200 dollars usually. I was so proud to leave under 60 today. I balance my zonegran with zoloft. I hope this is helpful in some way! And I hope to hear more from you. I too am curious about others experience since i am not taking it as FDA approved. I will be moving up to 200 mg at the end of the week
