I've been taking Topamax twice daily (for the most part) to manage migraines for about 4 months, and in the last month I've discovered I have an insatiable appetite. Does topamax have any sort of known side effect which makes you feel hungry all the time even 20 minutes after eating a delicious thanksgiving dinner?

Thanks!

Yes, It will can you hungry. I'm on Depakote,(for seizures) and have gained 20 Lbs.(so far). My Neuro. explained that these drugs"boost" your appetite, and slow down your matabilism as well. I feel your pain! I'm hungry ALL the time, even after just eating. Topamax usually makes you lose weight, but you just might respond a little different to it. Crying or Very sad

Thats odd, because I was on Topamax for some time and it actually decreased my appetite dramatically. I ended up losing about 20 pounds from it without change in diet or exercise.. I just had no desire to eat. I guess medications react a little differently in everyone?
