In reply to Topamax: appetite down, thinking down, posted by Patient Mom on February 10, 2004, at 15:33:16
I'm taking 50mg of Topamax per night for sleep and mood stabilization. I have noticed no decrease in my desire for food or any significant weight loss from the gain I got from Remeron. It's doubtful that I would be taking enough to achieve any weight loss since 75mg popped me awake at 1am, unable to go back to sleep.
I have battled my weight for years, never being able to be satisfied, usually eating by the clock, not necessarily when hungry, and then eating til over-full.
I wonder though if I would be able to 'psych' myself out, by 'telling' myself that the Topamax would help take off the extra pounds, that I wouln't be as hungry, etc, etc.
Any thoughts?
Tony
