Hi! I have been spying on this post for quite a while so i figured - why not just JOIN?? :) Thanks for all the helpful information you have already provided me with on your experiences with topamax!
I am 19 years old and have been struggling with eating disorders for nearly all of my life. I have dealt with mostly anorexia, but the great pressure put on me to eat during my recovery has led me to purging. I feel like I have tried everything and still can not kick this dangerous habit, it is only getting worse. Because of my low weight, it is uncertain whether I will be able to return to my WONDERFUL college this coming semester. My loving nutritionist has suggested Topamax as perhaps a "last chance" for my recovery. She is very confident in ths medicine, as she has seen it work wonders for a few of her patients suffering from bulimia. These topo patients have stopped almost all purging and also bingeing. I am going to my pDOC at the end of this week and I am going to beg her to put me on this medicine. I know she will not be fond of the suggestion bc of the weight loss that is a common side effect with topamax. SO, i am trying to get all the info i can to bring to her and support my case!! Any help ASAP would be appreciated soooo very much! Thanks for everything. My thoughts are with you all! love, kris
