I am on 100mg to try to suppress my appetite bc I have been struggling with nighttime/sleep eating which has caused much stress, and
depression in my life and 25lb weight gain. My DH locks the pantry up at night which I hate but it does help.

I do not notice the topamax suppressing my appetite yet but I'm only I'm 100mg. Pdoc said I could go to 150mg. I wondering if I should just taper off or give it a go at a higher dosage?

Has this med worked for anyone? What dosage?

It worked for me. I was on 150 2x a day to offset my zyprexa. I am now tapering off because I am coming off the zyprexa and adding Lamictal. I lost weight while on the generic form of the Topamax.
