A member asked:
I think my topamax (topiramate) is causing loss of appetite? is that a common side effect?

No: Topomax will only cause loss of appetite if the level of acid in you blood increases (this is called metabolic acidosis which is a side effect of topomax). If the acidosis is left untreated, it can cause loss of appetite.

Definitely: Many weight loss doctors utilize this common side effect of topamax (topiramate) for that effect. Labs should be monitored as during any medically supervised diet.

Yes: But for many patients that is an added benefit and not a side effect.
