Topamax was a fantastic medicine for me as well. It helped cut my migraines down by about 75% and weight wise, I lost over 80 pounds. I was only taking 125 mgs, ay more than that and I would slip right into horrendous depression. My doctor said it best "No one should have to die because of a headache." I also lost a lot of weight when I started taking Cymbalta. Not everyone responds to both of these drugs, but one of my best friends lives in Germany, so I know they're available there as well.

BTW, you're NOT drug seeking or drug dependent simply because you're asking about certain medications. I recommend heavily researching them first before asking your doctor about them.
