My doctor prescribed Topamax for a different issue, but I've read online that some people use it for weight loss too. I'm trying to understand the mechanism behind it. How does this medicine actually help in reducing weight?

It acts on your central nervous system to suppress your appetite and increase the feeling of fullness. It's actually a migraine and seizure med used off-label for weight loss, so don't self-medicate; get a proper prescription from an expert.

It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain to reduce cravings, especially for sweets and snacks. Please be gentle with your body and let a doctor guide you through the correct dosage.

I am new to this and a bit hesitant to try such medications. Does it cause any side effects like brain fog or tingling sensations in the fingers, as some people online have mentioned?

Topamax, or topiramate, modulates GABA receptors and inhibits carbonic anhydrase, which can reduce appetite and taste sensitivity. Because of its potential cognitive and metabolic side effects, a doctor's clinical advice is absolutely necessary before starting.
