A member asked:
My doc says i am hypothyroid but i have not gained any weight actually lost some, is this possible? my thyroid is slightly enlarged with some nodules

Yes, it is possible: Topamax (topiramate) causes an average of 23 pounds of weight loss, which is probably where the weight loss is coming from.
