> Sounds all to good to be true when you factor in the weight loss that he also says will happen. What is the lowest dose that anyone has lost weight on? I swear I feel a small glimmer of happiness creeping in if i still remember what that feels like.

Now this is purely anecdotal, but I took 25mg of Topamax daily for 3 weeks after being on Wellbutrin for 6 weeks (I am continuing on Wellbutrin). The Wellbutrin helped me stay on WW, but I think that effect fades after 4-6 weeks. So I was already losing weight and not stress eating when I started Topamax. A week ago or so I stopped taking Topamax because the hair loss was freaking me out. Within a few days I was struggling to stay on WW and for the last two days it was simply impossible. I was back to my gourmet/gourmand ways. Last night we had blue camembert cheese, tarragon chicken salad, french bread, Pinot Grigio, and dark chocolate for dinner--definitely NOT on WW in the volume I ate of these treats. So, last night I started back on Topamax. I don't know if it is a placebo effect (i.e., all in my head), but as I thought the Wellbutrin was helping me to stay with my eating plan I did not expect this low dose of Topamax to also help with this, and hence did not *expect* going off of it to cause a problem. Hope this makes sense.
