This drug is absolute garbage. I have gained 20lbs since using for 3mo. Looked up topiramate and it's purpose is pain med. Makes me unable to focus, low energy, went up 2 sizes. This is not for weight loss. Save your money. This co. Needs to change advertisement because it is false!!!!!!!

This drug ends your addiction to food. It helps with appetite, but honestly you still have hunger. If it was just the stimulant killing your appetite you could lose weight by drinking coffee all day. What this does is kill your addiction. You will not NEED food. You can eat half a burger. You can eat 4 of 20 McNuggets. I do not know how better to put it.

This drug ends your addiction to food. It helps with appetite, but honestly you still have hunger. If it was just the stimulant killing your appetite you could lose weight by drinking coffee all day. What this does is kill your addiction. You will not NEED food. You can eat half a burger. You can eat 4 of 20 McNuggets. I do not know how better to put it. I never would have said I was addicted to food until after starting this drug and realizing that was the problem. I did not need food, I craved food. I craved over-eating. I still want to eat, I just have no desire to over eat. I eat the same stuff, just less of it. This drug changed my life. Please try it, despite the price. The weight loss is amazing, -41 lbs in 13 weeks. I feel great. No negative side effects unless the energy of six cups of coffee is a negative side effect. Actually, any carbonated beverage tastes old and flat. All sodas are terrible. So is beer. Guinness is the only thing that tastes right since it is not carbonated. Best of luck.

One positive is that is does curb the appetite, but the negative side affects are worth it.

I am on my second round of this. I took it for 5 months and lost 15lbs over 4 month. The only reason I stopped was the hair loss and my tongue got a weird coating. When I researched the hair loss all I could find was people saying to stop the drug, no solutions of how to help with the hair loss and stay on the drug. Very frustrating.

I have lost 19 pounds in 30 days my dosage is 11.25. I was previously on the medication and liked the results. To be honest it really is a long term medicine and doctors are seeing that now. I do have that metallic taste but it is not bad, I drink water all day, but it has changed my eating habits.

I have lost 19 pounds in 30 days my dosage is 11.25. I was previously on the medication and liked the results. To be honest it really is a long term medicine and doctors are seeing that now. I do have that metallic taste but it is not bad, I drink water all day, but it has changed my eating habits. This time around I am eat better almost every morning I have either a small oatmeal, or greek yogurt and I have a small salad every day at lunch. At lunch I normally can't finish it so I nibble on it again at around 4. At home I have some protein and some veggies no starches and bread just a small portions. I am finally great. I think this time I will reach my goal. I am very pleased! You have to change your eating habits, drink more water and next I for me is adding more exercise! I was at 230 I am now at 211..I want to get some more weight off of one of my knees but I am ready..Motivated and ready!!
