Dear Dr. Bob Posters,

I'm sorry if my email made any of you feel less than safe; it's certainly not my intention.

As I said in my first email, I will certainly protect your anonymity.

As I understand it, topiramate was first approved as an epilepsy drug (for adults). Now it's being tested as a treatment for migraines, and was also tested an obesity drug, but because of side effects, the manufacturers Johnson and Johnson are hoping to reformulate in a controlled-release form that would prove to cause fewer side effects.

Yes, weight-loss is a side effect for those using it as an antiseizure medication. For those prescribed the drug off-label--and there are many of them--for weight loss, weight loss is the primary goal.

Just hoping to clarify any confusion regarding my post.
