Thanks Glenntaj! But I take the Topamax for Fibromyalgia and Degenerative Joint Disease. Ive tried several other medications, to which the Topamax has by far worked the best. I lost the weight long before going on Topamax...lol...I wish I had known Topamax had such a side affect as possible weight loss. I do know of another gal that takes it and has never had an issue with weight loss, so I don't know if that is true for everyone that takes it or not. Thanks again, Pebbs.
