I AM ON TOPAMAX AND HAVE BEEN FOR A FEW MONTHS. I WAS PUT ON IT FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND MOODINESS. I WAS STARTED ON 50MG AND WENT UP BY 50MG UNTIL I RECENTLY REACHED 200MG ON MAY 13, 2002. I STARTED TO BREAK OUT IN A RASH AROUND MY MIDSECTION THAT SEEMED TO GET WORSE AFTER HE INCREASED MY DOSE THIS LAST TIME AND IT AND ABSOLUTELY DROVE ME NUTS!!! MY DOCTOR SAYS IT IS FROM THE TOPAMAX. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE BEEN ON TOPAMAX SINCE BEFORE X-MAS! HE HAS DECREASED IT BY 50MG. IM NOT TO HAPPY BECAUSE I WAS DOING WELL AT LOSING WEIGHT. MY OTHER MEDS HAVE MADE ME GAIN ABOUT 35 LBS. I AM A PSYCHIATRIC NURSE AND HAVE CLIENTS THAT TAKE 30OMG + AND DO REAL WELL. THEY HAVE LOST GREAT AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT.
