> Well I have been on topomax to counter balance my wellbutrin,due to my bulimia. See if you take wellbutrin you can not binge or purge because it will cause seizures or a stroke. so my doc put me on it. I take 75 mg. in the morning and 100mg at night honestly food disgust me now I only eat a few select things: yogurt, bananas, and single servings of pasta meals. And I use to drink and a 6 pack of diet coke a day and now i maybe drink a 6 pack of diet coke a week. the only thing I love now is water I drink about 6 liters of water a day. I have energy now I walk 3 miles a day now. I no longer binge and purge. and i had been doing that since I was 13 and I am now 31. I know that some people have had mixed results but I have to say there is a god out there because I finally feel human again.

> deeDee,
I'm glad it works for you but the effects on Topamax wore off for me after a while. I hope it doesn't with you. My PDoc told me I had a weird system. Anyway, I've been on Wellbutrin and binge all the time! It only helped the first 10 days I've taken it. I never think about the seizure thing. For one thing, I've never purged by throwing up and when the urge comes to binge, I lose all control anyway. In fact, I'd love to have a seizure as maybe I wouldn't have to live like this anymore. Already have had about a dozen donuts this morning and am still ravenous. Stopped all meds a few days ago. Losing my mind and want to die.
