Oh I wish lol, polycythemia is what covid caused. Topamax is what my doctor prescribed me for weight loss and it's been working wonderfully. I highly recommend asking your doctor about it.
I have no appetite, no cravings, very low calorie diet is very easy and have quit alcohol and coffee without even realizing it until being offered last month. When I get down to my goal weight I will taper down to the lowest mg of Topamax cause I don't want to regain the weight while eating anything I want.
Basically it forces your body into ketosis without having to go on a keto diet. It may not work for everyone since everyone is different but I hope it works for you if you decide to try it.
