"This med's side effects outweigh the benefits of it. Those of us with a fast metabolism have a hard time just trying not to lose any weight, have no energy, or ability to even remember what we were about to do. I only wonder how bad it's gonna get. I've only been on it a year: 200 mg XR combined with 200 mg Dilantin twice daily. There's got to be a better way."

"So I've been taking topiramate for 3 years for seizures and migraines (both of which have disappeared). Yes, the side effects are terrible, especially the word searching and insomnia. But my seizures were debilitating, and I was having migraines 3 times a month, so I can deal with the side effects. My biggest problem is the lack of appetite. Because of my insomnia, my doctor switched me to Qudexy, which is topiramate in a time-release capsule. When I was taking regular topiramate, I did lose weight, approximately 60 pounds in 2 years, and then the weight loss stopped. I went from 200 pounds to 140 pounds, and I'm very happy with that. Since I switched to Qudexy 2 months ago, I've lost close to 20 pounds and have no desire to eat. I feel like I'm force-feeding myself. I don't know what to do."
