The problem with topamax is that it makes most people stupid. It makes you really spacey, and you forget words. I really want to lose weight, but I wouldn't be able to stand the cognitive side-effects of the topamax...I need my brain to be in tip-top shape.
But if you are happy being skinny and dumb...by all means go on the topamax! LOL.
