topamax for weight loss

Has anyone else taken the drug topamax for weight loss and seen results? Even though it isn't yet approved by the FDA for weight loss, my dr. prescirbed it to me probably two months ago, and I've lost 15 lbs. It is an anti seizure medication, but can be used for depression or headaches. I've also been trying to prepare for surgery, cutting portions down, and not eating any fried foods. This has curved my appetite quite a bit I think, and of course I've cut out fried foods before without seeing really any results, so I was just wondering if anyone else has taken this medication. Also, this pill cannot be smashed, it says so on the bottle, so this mean after surgery I won't be able to take it?
