Is Any Other Uses For Topamax?

Updated

I'm 17 and I take Adderall XR, Zoloft, Klonoin, and Topamax. I have diagnosed with OCD, ADD, ADHD, and PTSD. I was reading that Topamax is mainly used for seizures and epilepsy. I have neither of those. Is there another use for this drug?

While most drugs are only approved by the FDA to treat certain conditions, there is nothing that restricts doctors from prescribing it for other conditions, so many of them learn from experience that they can work for other things and will recommend them for those conditions that they have learned it previously helped treat.

I have heard of people taking this for migraines and many other conditions.
