Topomax And Weight Gain

I have been on Topamax for about 10 months, started at 25mg a day. Now at 50mg in the morning 50mg at bed time and I have gained so much weight since I started on this medicine, it has not helped with weight loss at all. I do not have migraines at all anymore but I am close to 30 lbs heavier. What can I do? any ideas?

Hi, Lisa! How are you?

I'm very sorry about the weight gain.

But many medications are known to cause the opposite of the expected effects in some people that take them.

Have you increased your activity rates and been careful with your diet?

You may have already done so, but sometimes people don't think of the first and most obvious steps.

Have you talked to your doctor about it?

They may have additional ideas that can help you.
