Please try conservative measures (Weight Watchers, more exercise, etc.) before trying meds. While I know that in some people, their condition causes their metabolism to change, there still might be a sweet tooth component (or carb or fat craving) that could be addressed by watching calories, exercising or behavioral therapy.
Topiramate caused me to lose 15 pounds, but it was due to very severe medication side effects and probably metabolic acidosis (black box warning on Topamax, I believe). I'm still not over the panic attacks it induced. Be careful with that one.
I want a muffin. I can sympathize with your problem.
