I lost weight on Topamax too. Went from my usuall 4 / 6 to a 2!! Great stuff.

What I think is silly, is that he wants me on Depakote AND lamitical (at least for the time being).

It's great that he is concerned for me -that's his job, right?- but if the choice is between what he's concerned about and my getting fat-fuzzy-tired....well, let's just say that i care too much about myself to go the tired-fat route.
