Hey Suzy, I hope the Topamax works well for you. I love it. I take 150mg, started with 25. I quickly lost weight. I was 191 pounds and so depressed because of it. Topamax changed my life. I'm now 135. I managed to get down to 116 but my therapist insisted I was anorexic and ran to my pdoc and she almost took away the Topamax, blaming the drug on my eating disorder.
So, I had to gain some weight in order to stay on it. Hey, at least it keeps me thin AND stable.
