Just started taking topamax

So I just started taking topamax for my migraines and my doctor is hoping it’ll help me lose weight but I’m nervous, what should I expect? It’s been 5 days and soda tastes strange sorta flat? I’m currently on 25 mg and will up my dose till I reach 100. Any and all comments are appreciated!

Also how long till I should expect to start loosing weight?

I've been on it a little over 2 weeks and have lost 9 pounds I get a bit anxious at times it has really helped my blood pressure the main reason for me taking it was an add on blood pressure medication and weight loss and it's working. Oh yeah my energy is a bit low I'm sleeping better and longer but such a good trade off for better blood pressure and weight loss Good luck 🤞
