I have suffered from severe depression and anxiety for 20 years, and have been on many different anti-depressants. Paxil worked very well and I have been on it for 5 years - but, my weight has totally ballooned!! (Don't know my weight since I avoid the scales like the plague!) But, I have put up with this side-effect because it felt sooooo good not to be under that constant black cloud! However, I finally suggest to my pdoc that surely he can give me an AD that will help me but won't make me gain so much weight!! He has now switched me to effexor 225gm at night, and that it working great! Now he wants to add Topamax to help with the weight gain. I found this link by surfing the net to get more info' on Topamax, and have read everything you have all written since the thread started in Jan. The side effects seem pretty severe just to loose weight. Has anyone any suggestions for me? I see my doc next week and he wants to start the Topamax then. Please help!
