A member asked:
Is weight loss from topamax (topiramate) dose dependant? i.e if you increase the dose are you more likely to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask your doctor: Topamax (topiramate) isn’t approved as a standalone drug for weight loss. Moreover, you may experience drug-related side effects that can contribute to weight gain and not loss. Ask your doctor for more information.
