A member asked:

Three weeks ago i stopped taking topamax (topiramate) and celexa after 10 years of use. diet and exercise have not changed but i've gained weight overnight ?

Yes: Tomamax may cause lack of appetite. Therefore its absence may trigger hunger.

Topomax weight loss: Topomax causes weight loss, the weight gain is from discontinuation of topomax.
