I was on Topomax for over a year and what it did for my mood was AWESOME! I felt great. And this could be either good or bad. It was good for me. I've never lost so much weight so quickly. As soon as I got off the med it went right back but it was nice for a time. The reason I got off of it was because I was having memory problems which can sometimes be a side effect. My doctor told me but I forgot. Go figure. The memory loss wasn't permenant though and I'm thinking about asking my doc if I can go back on it soon. Overall, it was a very good med. Good luck with it!
