      Neeener Neener Neeenerr Seroquel Topamax killed all your sugar cravings.
      Topamax Too Soon to Tell
      Just started it on 5/5/09 5/9/09 It is already helping with mood swings and curbing my cravings for food that came with seroquel. Also seems to curb cravings for alcohol. I do feel a little anger with it and feel dopey.
