Topamax prescribed for weight loss

When I read a post saying that someone tried bananas for the tingling and it worked - well, it just makes me stupidly happy. I only started losing a little weight at 75 mg. The main side effect of the medication, which I personally LOVE, is the fact that I have so far lost 15 lbs. Your honesty, sense of humor and obvious knowledge of this drug was a joy to read.
