I’m not sure if there is some misunderstanding or not… but Topiramate is an anticonvulsant that would be prescribed for Epilepsy or similar ailments. http://www.drugs.com/ppa/topiramate.html does list that under “unlisted uses” (meaning it’s not the main point, but some may take it for) that:
“Adjunctive therapy for bipolar disorder, alcohol and cocaine dependence, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, cluster headaches, infantile spasms, weight loss or obesity, and smoking”
http://www.drugs.com/cdi/topiramate.html also points out a very long list of side effects, so I wouldn’t use this solely for weight loss. However, if I misunderstood the question and you are using it for an anticonvulsant, I would discuss your concerns with your doctor. I don’t imagine you would lose a ton of weight, but you might just need to watch what you eat (meaning to make sure you eat enough and take 3 meals daily, even if you aren’t hungry). Good luck and I hope I helped!
