best part of topomax for me? I gave up my soda addiction because it makes soda taste flat...no sense in drinking it! And in just that part I lost some weight.
I'm on topamax already. But I don't tolerate it well and haven't been able to take more than 25 mg. I think with clozaril I also need something that affects my metabolism since the clozaril really screws it up. We'll see soon I guess.
