Its me again....
After 10 days I have reached the following doseage on this combo:
Topamax 50 mg (twice a day)
Zololft 50 mg (once a day)However I am experiencing itching (and I know that's a side effect of Topamax) although I have not noticed a rash but today (Sunday) is the very first day of going up on my doseage. I really want to stick with this med to help with my moods because of the problems I already have with weight. I've been trying "Aveeno" lotion (with virtually no success with the itching), does anyone know of something stronger I can try?
I'm still seeing my irritability rearing it's ugly head more often than not and I know that Zoloft is likely to increase anxiety, right?
Zoloft is also interferring with my sleep. My pdoc rx'd Ambien 10 mg and I take it each night and it worked like a dream for about a week but now it's taking longer to fall asleep and boom 4 hours later, I am wide awake!!
Any thoughts or suggestions to any of the above whining?
:-) God Bless,
Robin
