I know there's been posts about Topamax before... don't know if it's possible to search old threads, but you might want to try it...
anyway, I was put on Topamax and didn't make it much more than 5 or 6 days. I was totally exhausted by it... to the point where I couldn't function. In the short time i took it it didn't do anything beneficial for my bulimia / bipolar or OCD, but i guess that's due to the length of time i was on it...

I have been on Topamax for two years at 100 mg at bedtime and have lost a lot of weight. I wish you luck with Topamax.
