Rainee:
The Topamax did nothing for helping me lose weight, but then I was only trying to correct the 12 pounds I got from Remeron, not 100...
From the posts I've read, most people don't start to lose weight with Topamax until the doses get well over 100mg per day. There are cognitive as well as other side effects also.
Ask your pDoc about Seroquel. It works great for mood and is better than Topamax for sleep. I've noticed no word-fumbling, etc. with Seroquel like with Topamax.
