> does the weight loss factor in Topomax know when to quit?Nobody's laughing. Its not funny that the medication you have to take for your epilepsy is causing this unwanted side effect. And I don't blame you for not wanting to tell your coworkers. Its none of their business and is only something you should share with someone when you're ready to. Unfortunately I don't have the answers for you. All I know is that it's a medication that is prescribed to some to help lose weight because of the way it suppresses your appetite. Have you shared your fear that you may never regain your appetite on the Topamax with your doctor? If he isn't concerned with this, I would be concerned about him! You obviously can't just waste away into nothing. Please talk to your doc soon, and I will try to take my own advice and talk to mine about my concerns as well. Good luck!
