What would be similar to Toperamite but not have the strange side effects That a doctor could switch someone to? I do not want to be put on one that will cause rapid weight gain either. Last 1 I was on that caused rapid weight gain almost killed me so those ones scare me now and doctors already said my small frame cant take the rapid weight like that. I weighed 100 pounds when ;put on Toperamite and fought hard not to loose any weight . So far I have done a good job.But this stuff makes me want to sleep all day and all night after 3 years now.
