What Causes Weight Gain After Taking Lamictal?

I am currently taking Lamictal for complex partial seizures. I have experienced weight gain recently and my cycle has stopped due to stress. My primary care doctor suggested aI speak to my neurologist and try Topomax because a side effect is weight loss. How does Topomax help with weight loss? Does it decrease appetite or does it have something to do with metabolism?
