Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.
Answering accordingly:
Topiramate is used for reducing weight but it is not approved by FDA. There are good reports from the users abour its efficacy. It is used for migraine and epilepsy. There are no reports on its effect on anxiety.
It is not extensively metabolized by liver and 70% is excreted unchanged in urine. So it does not cause liver disease but a person with liver disease has to be cautious while using it.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I shall be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
