Please keep me posted, I have been on Topamax 75 mgs for over a month now - Along with Wellbutrin. I haven't lost a pound, I was hoping it would help with binge/over - eating as I have gained 20 pounds in the last couple of years on AD's. I will keep giving Topamax a try. I was taking Effexor and before that Lexapro, I have decided none of the AD's help with weight except Prozac in the first 6 months. Then the weight slowly creeps up. Since I am off the regular AD's I am thinking of going back on Prozac for 6 months just for the weight loss and then going off after the 6 months. I haven't been on Prozac since July so maybe it would give my the same results it did when I first started it three years ago. I swear Prozac was the best until it "pooped out" I am convinced ALL of the AD's cause weight gain.
Anyway, keep my posted on the Zonegran
My doc switched me to Zonegran (for my binge eating) because of the problems I was having with the Topamax – mainly the interference with birth control, cognitive problems, and tiredness. From what I can tell, its about the same thing as Topamax except its not supposed to have those particular side effects. I'll let yall know how it works out
