HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Topamax is normally used for weight loss, it is not usually associated with weight gain.
The weight gain may be related to lifestyle issues since the other medications that you are using (wellbutrin and prozac) are also normally associated with weight loss.
You may want to consider speaking to your doctor or a nutritionist about your desire to loss weight to see if they can evaluate your diet and activity and assist in making changes.
I hope this helps
