I found these COMMENTS below when I “Googled” the medication, Topamax, on the internet…

“I don't prefer Topamax for weight loss as I think it is very bad and terribly dangerous to take it for weight loss”. “I've been on Topamax  for 1 month (I also take Celexa for depression). No weight loss yet, darn it. But I have experienced the tingling in my fingertips and feet, forgetfulness and loss for words. Sometimes, I have to stop and think how to spell or pronounce a word”.

“The side effect I have that really worries me is the dizzy / off balance feeling. Sometimes when I turn my head 
I get really lightheaded. … or if I'm standing and I turn to walk or look at something I almost fall over. It's not the head rush feeling you get from standing up too fast either. It happens everyday more than 10 times a day. Has anyone else had this side effect”?
  
“It was first marketed as a diet pill (as told by my doctor), but women weren't losing enough weight on it. When I took it for 15 days, I lost 12 lbs. I advise everyone I know not to touch Topamax. I personally believe it does more harm than good”.

Again - a lot of "Positive Reviews" on it's Original Intent for... Seizures, Epilepsy, and Migraines.
