Yes. Although some people do not lose weight on Topomax, for many it does cause a signifigant weight loss of around seven percent of their starting body weight.It is unknown how Topamax causes weight loss but many researchers believe one of the causes is because it is a diarrhetic and the weight lost is water weight. It has also been proven to act as an appetite suppresant and some people have said Topamax has changed the way food tastes to them, specifically Carbonated Beverages such as soda. Many people are unable to drink carbonated beverages while taking this medication.
