Hi there,
Don't worry about being nosy! I am so glad you posted:)
May I ask you a few questions?
1) How long your daughter has been on the Topomax?
2) How old is she (if you don't mind me asking)?
3) She might not have lost any weight, but does she say that she feels less urge to binge eat? What does she day about her urges to binge in general?
Feel free to ask ANYTHING or give any input! I have suffered with a binge eating disorder since the age of 5 and am very open about it.
Best,
Jen> Hi

> I'm just being nosy and reading your posts because my daughter has BED and is taking topamax. She started out on 50mg per day, and is up to 200mg per day. I don't think she has any cognative dulling, but has had tingling feet and buring eyes. That has passed, but I don't really think it's helping the BED much yet. I don't see any weight loss, but her moods seem to be stabilized. She has not been diagnosed with anything other than depression, and she says that's gone even after stopping Welbutrin. I am assuming she's telling me the truth, but who know's for sure. I hope everything works out, keep me posted PLEASE? -L
