Don't know if anyone has posted this, but just thought I'd jump in and add this. A lot of times, it is found that medications do other things besides what their original intent was. Topamax is one of these medications. Although it's an anti-seizure medication, it has been found that it aids weight loss (also a prophylaxis for migraines). I know this, because I have a friend whose doctor prescribes it to her for weight loss.
