> Boy, I could have written your post. Same age, same life, similar issues. It has been 5 months since you posted that message, and I just started the same comnination at the same dosage. I am wondering how you are doing with it and if you are still taking both.Yo! I went on Topomax about 4 months ago... to say it has saved my life is no mere statement. I have suffered alcoholism/drug addiction and was never diagnosed with bi polar. I went from one rehab to another...never figuring out why I could'nt do it and wanted to SO BAD!!! This has been going on since I was 16. I am now 38 and living a life I have never known. I was on Prozac for 2 years and they stopped it. They started a daily dose of Wellbutrin and Topomax....Thank you Lord!!! I have always been an overweight, unhappy, never good enough kinda gal....now I hold my head up, free from alcohol for the longest period I have known ( with the exceptions of my pregnancies.) Hang in with the meds...it took awhile playing w/ the dosage, but I am on the minimum now and HEY! I have lost 26lbs!!!I am engaged to a wonderful christian man and LIFE IS GOOD!
