I am up to 50mg so far and I am probably going to have to be bumped up eventually. I am not sure how high my Dr wants to go yet. My face hasn't broken out anymore than normal but I have noticed the tingling thing going on. It stopped at the 25mg and I knew it was ok to move on up to the 50mg. WHOO WEE!! DON'T move up to the next dose too soon...lost my eyesight for a couple days...scary stuff. Kat helped me though! THANKS!!! The tingling thing is back so I am assuming that will go away. My dr told me that weight loss is usual around 150mg and higher. I haven't experienced too much weight loss but I have noticed a decrease in my appetite. I guess everyone is different and responds differently to drugs. I also take it for bipolar and not migraines. Maybe that affects the side effects too. If your face is breaking out, make sure you have a good skin care regiment. That can help with the acne also. Hope this helps some!
