ABSTRACT:  OBJECTIVE: To report observations on the
efficacy and tolerability of topiramate in a sample of
five patients with severe symptoms of bulimia nervosa
and comorbid mood and/or anxiety disorders. METHOD:
Topiramate was added to other psychotropic medication
under open-label conditions up to the maximum
tolerated dose or until remission of the eating
disorder was achieved. RESULTS: Topiramate almost
completely eliminated binging and purging behavior in
three of the five patients. Improvement was maintained
throughout the period of follow-up for up to 18
months. One patient showed a partial, temporary
response, and the fifth was intolerant of the drug and
unable to complete an adequate trial. DISCUSSION:
These results suggest strongly that the efficacy of
topiramate in patients with bulimia nervosa with and
without comorbid mood and anxiety disorders should be
investigated more fully. [Copyright 2003 by Wiley
