How Can Excessive Weight Gain While On Topiramate Be Treated?

I currently take 100 mg of Topiramate twice daily for migraines and 2 mg of Estradiol daily. I am a 45-year-old female, of course, wondering what I could pair with these meds to help lose about 25 pounds. I currently weigh 167. I have had an issue with my appetite my whole life and my weight has reached to 254 at one point. I started taking Topirimate in 2011 and it has helped me lose and maintain my weight but now the problem has returned, I find myself craving and eating more. I have a membership with a gym but I work at Emory University Hospital Midtown as a Unit Secretary 12 hour shifts 7A-7P and 7P-7A 4 to 5 days a week I am always tired and just feel horrible. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



I suggest you to try to lose weight naturally by diet and exercise.

If this is not possible you can use Duromine, since it doesn't interact with Topiramate.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
