Yeah, I was all for the weight loss as opposed to weight gain. I am bipolar and most mood stabilizers cause weight gain. And since Topamax has mood stabilizing properties, I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
What were your dosages like? Right now I'm up to 100mg and not had any serious side effects. Only dry mouth, mild insomnia, and I can't drink carbonated drinks anymore (they just taste horrible!!). I was so terrified of the cognitive side effects that I almost didn't want to go on it. Now I'm very glad that I did! I'm not completely headache free all the time, but they are lessening in intensity and happening less frequently.
