Weight Gain Whole Reducing Topomax

I am on Topomax for a seizure disorder (haven't had one in almost 10yrs) so because I am also on another medication which doubles to prevent seizures my doctors feels I could come off the Topomax- I don't need two - it certainly didn't help my migraines. However in the past two weeks coming off the med I've gained 6 pounds and I'm not eating any differently! Has anyone else had this happen. I've worked very hard to keep my weight down and getting very hungry and freaking out! Thanks.

How long have you been taking the other medication and what specific medication is it?

It could be a combination of it and the Topamax, actually.

It's difficult to know how anyone will react to any particular medication and/or discontinuing one.
