I have now been now been on wellbutrin 150mg 1/day and topomax 25mg 2/day for a full week I dont feel any differently...feeling wise...not happy..not sad...noit flat...just...normal maybe i dunno..anyways i'm sure it takes time..i am having a strange symptom..and i dont know if it is caused by the meds..or something else...maybe someone on here can help me out.
I am not hungry at all, like today i had to force myself to eat a banana....(because someone said on topomax you have o eat a banana everyday) and it was one of those lady finger bananas...like...4 inches long and i just wanted to vomit. Everything i think i should eat doesn't want to go down. I'm on a diet anyways....and the diet is i am supposed to eat 3 small meals and 3 snacks a day...lately i am lucky if i eat one morsel of food a day....i mean don't get me wrong...going with out food wont kill me I'm a chubby girl but I'm a little worried because i know that not eating is VERY unhealthy. People say they lose weight on both of these meds...is it because it's an appetite suppressant....or more because it makes food taste disgusting? The other day i made myself i think 6 different things because i would take one bite and be revolted by either the smell or taste or texture....i just kept feeding them to my husband... he ate chicken corn chowder, cesar salad, brussel sprouts, tunna noodle cassarol, a ham sandwich and cucumber slices with taziki dip.....the poor guy he finally said your not hungry!!!!!!!!!!! lol

I don't think the wellbutrin does anything to weight, I don't remember. Topomax does 2 things, it alters your metabolism so you lose weight, and it makes you feel full faster, if you pay attention. I would feel satisfied and be able to stop with one-third of a restaurant meal, for example. but I was taking a much higher dose. still, at the beginning, you would notice its effects more.

It usually takes antidepressants 4 to 6 weeks to kick in and have an effect on mood. Side effects happen quickly but many fade away in time.
