Oh, I stopped using Topamax. It was giving me such bad word retrieval difficulties, and, it was not helping with hunger pangs at that time.

Later, hunger pangs mostly resolved by themselves. I do not know why they came on in December and do not know why they largely disappeared in February.

I have not lost any weight, even though I have been exercising quite a bit since the beginning of December. But no, the number on the scale would not budge.
