In reply to What Topamax dose for weight loss?, posted by tygereyes on April 4, 2006, at 16:18:26
I started losing weight on very low doses of Topamax as I was titrating up. However, I think it might have been due to metabolic acidosis which is a dangerous side effect for Topamax. I stopped due to other severe side effects, but never knew if I had metabolic acidosis as they never ordered a lab test. I would not use it as a weight loss measure . There are other steps you can take. See this thread:
