>My Dr. has prescribed topomax for me to eventually replace the lithium. I've taken it about a week and will up the dose to what will be my normal level tomorrow. So far I haven't really noticed my appetite changing at all. But I'm still taking the lithium too. I know that losing weight really comes down to what the individual wants and is willing to do to attain a goal. I feel you can't put too much stock into a pill to solve all your problems. Don't get me wrong...I need those durn things to help me through my day, but ultimately I control my destiny. (It is kinda nice to think that some prescription drugs have desirable "side-effects".)
Topomax is suppose to do the opposite from depakote in terms of instead of weight gain it has weight loss side effects. Has anyone had any experience with these? Ellen
