A member asked:
Can topiramate be taken to reduce weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, by prescription only and with continuing medical supervision. But you better learn how to eat properly because topiramate induced weight loss is limited, and often while remaining on the drug for long periods, weight may be regained. Never discontinue this drug rapidly because you might experience seizures.
