Everyone else has heard me say this so plug up your ears. So for Limey, I was put on Topamax almost a year ago, I am now, everyone, as of last month up to 500 mgs, and I have lost 35 pounds and am NOW 120 pounds at 5'9", underweight for my height. Yes, it does cause weight loss, just be careful what you ask for you just might get it. I have become a bit obessed with the entire weight loss thing. I am catching a bit of grief from my family. My doctor hasn't noticed because of the clothes I wear to my visits. I had been 137 before going on the AD's (while on the AD's I got up to 155) when I was put on Topamax I should have maintained when I reached 137. Most importantly it has been a great drug for Bipolar 2, the ups and downs and acting out. The only one that has worked for me. Just be sure to maintain a healthy weight, my best advise. Take care of yourself. Lexie
