Is it safe to take topamax and water pills for weight loss?
I went to a local weight loss center and the Dr there prescribed these pills for me. I'm taking 50 mg topamax per day and a water pill. I've lost 14 lbs in 6 weeks (YEAH!!) but starting to worry about side effects and getting off the medication. Also concerned about what my "real" Dr will say. Comments?? Suggestions??

I was on i believe the same dose, but for migraines, and I had to get off of it because not only would it not allow me to focus, but just the list of side effects scared me…. I beleive I actually gained wieght on it…
Talk to your doctor… If you need to lose weight, then he/she will perscribe you something or more liekly help you devise a diet plan that is healthy and will not adversely effect you or any other medications you might be on…
