I'm 27 years old. I am a smoker since last 6-7 years. I have consulted with a psychiatrist about my addiction. And he advice me to take topiramate tablet. So, my question is that, does topiramate have the potential to reduce craving and does topiramate has any use in case of quit smoking?

Dear Saikat, The doctor might have diagnosed a mood disorder in addition to your nicotine dependance. Unless the mood is stabilised, you may not be able to quit smoking. It may not reduce craving - but it will keep your motivation to quit high continuously for more than 3 months. You yourself will learn how to observe the craving going down without smoking.
