Can Topamax Tablet Be Prescribed To Treat Binge Eating?
A couple of years ago, I was put on topamax for migraines and found that it not only helped alleviate that, but also decreased the urge to over-eat. Since then, I went off topamax but my struggle with binge eating has returned. Would my GP prescribe topamax for this reason? Are there any known long-term side effects of this med?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the migraine then it is functional disorder more than pathologically one, and as long as the medicine is concern it may have some side effects and if it is not that much important then better to stop this, try some relaxation therapy, control your thoughts, and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
