> Is anyone else experiencing this? I am considering going off...I cant imagine what this is doing to my health long term...

> Also I was looking at Lamotrigine as an alternative...I suspect borderline personality disorder as well as the bipolar...anyone with experiences on this med?

> And as a FYI....I have been rather disturbed by the recent outbreak of people using Topamax as a weight loss pill especially with all of its side effects...(eventhough when you first start taking it you are told they are minimal...hardly)
> I wanted to let people know, yes, you do lose weight initialy...but it eventualy tapers off...atleast that was my experience...this pill is not a miracle...
