In reply to Starting Topamax with Parnate, posted by MelD on September 16, 2003, at 17:58:34
Hi Melodie, I originally was put on Topamax for mood stabilization, but it worked more for my weight actually. I have gained a lot of weight over the years on and off these meds, but also because I haven't really tried to lose what I have gained.
Topamax was a great help. It worked well and I lost 25 pounds. My tastes changed for certain things, etc. and my appetite decreased a lot!
Please, if you have anymore questions~let us know.
We're glad you're here:-)
and I hoped this helped a little.> I have gained weight on Parnate and my pdoc just prescribed Topamax to aid in controlling carb cravings. Has anyone taken Topamax for this purpose, and could you tell me how it worked for you? Thanks, Melodie
