Hi. I have been taking Topamax for about 3 mos. now. I was really tired at first, too. Then I was able to function without falling asleep during the day. It has effected my memory so I am taking Ginkgo Biloba every day at 500 mg. I was one of those with severe binge eating disorder. It helps me to control my appetite now. I don't know if I want to be on this medicine forever however. I'll just take it one day at a time for now. All the best to you.
