i started losing my appetite at 25-50mg can't remember, but i just started to forget to eat- not good. i noticed the stupidness at 50mg and i started feel really empty headed at 75mg- so i am back to 50....but after reading the posts i think i am going off the drug!
> Hi everyone! In a lot of the past posts, people talk about the cognitive side effects, such as the "stupids", memory loss, blurry vision, etc, etc. Well, I have been on the Topamax for a month now and luckily I haven't had any of those side effects yet. BUT, I have not had any of the weight loss effects either, which, besdies my terrible depression is a huge reason I am on Topamax in the first place. I really want to increase my dosage to 200 mg. so that I can have the weight loss, but I don't want the cognitive effects. So, can anyone tell me what dose they were on when they started having the cognitive side effects and what dosage they were on when they had the weight loss effects? Thanks!!
