One doctor thinks it could be a reaction to the Topamax. I've been today to my psychiatrist who thinks it is not possible. What do you think. Has anybody ever experienced a reaction to Topamax that looks like chicken pox??? I really hope not because I'm so happy with the results of this medicine that I definitely would not want to give it up.

Hi Ludo,
Like you this is my first time on this message board. I was trying to find information on Topamax
for weight loss and found this site. I have taken just about every pill I can think of to help with my weight and each time I find one that does work it seems it is taken off the market.
It seems as if this is working for you. I am
presently taking 20mg. Prozac once a day and along with appex (37.5mg) 3 tomes a day and Xenical as I wish. I have taken these for about 2 years now and I just get to a certain weight and thats as far as it goes. I really want to lose weight. Thanks for the infor.Teardrop
