For me, Topamax sort of killed my appetite at the lower doses starting at 50mg. When I got over 200mg, though, my appetite came back the longer I was on it. I'm on 300mg now, and my appetite is now back.
I don't get stupid on it at all because my Temporal Lobes (which Topamax hits) were messed up in the first place. If the drug hits a healthy pair, you get stupid on it.
> Well call me odd, but when i was on topamax the 1st time i was a little forgetful, you need to raise the dose slow..... i lost weight. then when i was put on it again, we started higher and i was fine no effects at all that were noticable except the tingling in the hands, i was 75mg am and 75mg 4.00pm......i was fine on it but i was losing weight again and stopped eating.....not a good thing for me, but if you are a binge eater it works, i say give it a try and it might take a while to get to a theraputic dose, if u become forgetful then stop.....but at least u tried,
