> NatI read a while back, when first researching this medication that a University did a research project on Binge eating and Topamax. It was a Controlled study where some participants were given Topamax and some a placebo. The ones given the Topamax did far better controlling their binge eating than the ones taking the placebo. I was taking it for BP 2, I stopped binging and lost 30 pounds) I just don't know if a Doctor will prescribe to for that, although they perscribe it for BP and it is only FDA approved for eplipsy, so who know's? Hope this helps. But I am no doctor just someone offering some advise. All My Best, Lexie
