Hey there:-) I was just thinking about you the other day when I saw this thread! I was wondering where you went. Sounds like you're the one giving advice now-that's awesome:-) I know you were having a terrible time wanting to see some weight loss on the Topamax! How much have you lost? How is it going for you? Is it helping your depression? Just wanted to see how the heck you were doing:-)
Glad to see your post!

> I think you will lose weight with the Topamax! But, you have to give it a little time. I didn't start losing weight with it until I was taking it 5 or 6 weeks and I was on 200 mg. I take it for depression. As soon as I got up to the 200mg, my appetite was almost gone and that is how you lose the weight. A lot of people lost their appetite at even lower doses than 200, but I know it takes at least 3 or 4 weeks, and like I said, for me it was like 6 weeks, so be patient. Good Luck and let me know if you have any other questions about it!
