Has anyone ever had success with weight loss when adding Topomax/Topiramate to their usual dose of Lithium? Any increased side effects?

I noticed you didn't have any replies. I don't have any experience with this combo. Hopefully someone will come along who has.
Thanks for this!

I didn't take topomax with lithium but I did lose weight on it. I don't remember the other meds I was on at the time. I don't remember how much weight I lost either. At the time I wasn't overweight so I wasn't keeping track.

No sorry, but I am on Lamotrigine and Lithium with no side effects.
