Topiramate

Topiramate is a medication primarily used to treat epilepsy and prevent migraines. It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain and calming overactive nerve signals. In addition to its neurological uses, topiramate is sometimes prescribed for weight loss and as part of treatment for alcohol dependence. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, and changes in taste. It's important for users to communicate openly with their healthcare provider about any side effects or concerns while taking this medication to ensure its safe and effective use.
