> I have read somewhere, it was a medical report, (sorry can't tell you were it was)that most, by the time they get to 200 mg, lose approx 20 % of their weight. As far as stupification I understand if you titrate slowly this should not be a problem. I went slow and it has not been a problem for me. I have also lost 30 pounds BUT I have also been on the Atkins diet. I am now at 75 mg planning to get to 200 mg.

> MaggieBut it inno way makes you gain weight right?Because I gained a couple since starting Topamax, which is fine, but if I'm gonna gain more because of it I quit. I can't afford to lose weight, I can afford to gain, but if I gain more than 5 pounds I get so incredibley depressed most antidepressents wont help. I really wish this medicine didnt effect weight eitherway.
