I just want to say that it is possible to lose weight without the topamax. I know hopw easy it is to get addicted to something when you are terrified you'll put the weight back on. I've been addicted to laxitives for about 4 years or more and recently stopped taking them. It was a big thing for me, as I'd panic if I didn't have any. I have had weight issues since I was 17 (I am now 28) when I was starving myself. My weight has fluctuated alot since then.
I'm like you though. I set a goal weight for myself, and now I have reached it I just want to lose more, which I probably shouldn't since I am only 112 pounds. If you are that worried about coming off Topamax I'd say come off it. I decided to get healthy about my weight loss when I ballooned up again, and joined a gym. Perhaps i got a little obsessive with it, but I would rather be obsessive about that than taking a drug. Its always your choice as its your body, so think about what you really want in the long run. I think your therapist is a moron. If she knows you have a problem then threatening to take your drug away is a very stupid and risky thing to do. Go with how you feel on this one if <font color="pink"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> you are not an unhealthy weight.
