Dear Coffeegirl,

i've not taken Topamax personally.

primarily i'm aware of it being used as an anti-epileptic and for migraine prophylaxis, but it is occasionally used off-label as a mood stabilizer. it should not make bipolar disorder worse.

it can cause extensive weight loss and is sometimes given where appetite reduction is desirable. it could augment the problems if you have anorexia nervosa or have other difficulties with eating. i've read things about it possibly causing hair loss too - but you would have noticed that.

how are you doing?
