Brief Answer:
Topiramate can be tried for weight loss.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Phentermine and Topiramate both are used in reducing the weight. Both are safe to use but in an individual of 70 age use of Phentermine should be with caution. If there is any history of cardiac illness or hypertension then please avoid the drug.

Topiramate is safe to use and you can think of using this drug. The drug in some individuals in high doses could result in cognitive side effects but otherwise the drug is safe to use.

So you can talk with your doctor regarding Topomax. The drug can help you in reducing the weight even in low doses.

Thanks and Take care
