How common is weight gain and what is the average amount gained after stopping use of topomax?

Haven't heard of...: Haven't heard of a doctor collecting the numbers and publishing the data on what % of patients on topamax (topiramate) lose weight taking it, and regain weight when no longer taking it. There are reports online that while some patients lose weight while on topamax (topiramate), there are other patients who do not lose weight. Whether it be 5, 10, or 20 pounds regained, it likely reflects the pounds lost while on the drug.
