I don't think mood stabilizers and anti-siezure meds have been shown to have strong anti-obsessive properties... but I could be completely wrong here. I would not advise anybode to take my word alone for it. Ask a medical professional!On second thought, scratch what I just said! I was thinking about anorexia, not binge eating. You are actually looking for the appetite suppressing properties of topomax. I wasn't thinking there. Nevermind. Disregard what I said, and sorry about that.
