Q: Topamax

I have been on topamax for a few years now. It seemed to really help my bulimia but I would like to stop taking medications now. I am wondering if I get off of it, will my bulimia come back? If anyone knows, please let me know. My doctor doesn't seem to know...

Thanks!

Hi,
i've heard of that drug, I was wondering, is it used to treat obesity? Or is it an antidepressant?

Edited to add: sorry, I looked it up myself, and read that it is used for epilepsy.

I take topamax for epilepsy and yes it does make you loose weight. I am eating anything to gain. I just can't it is a kind of med where I can't cut off of. I can eat and eat all day still nothing looks like I have never ate a thing. The topamax does that to you.

Ruby no it will not if you get off of the topamax you will than put the weight back on. The topamax makes you take it off. So many people have gone threw it because they lost so much weight

Rubycat and limeridge,
