I have battled depression all my life so i finally went to a shrink. HE really seems to care and he put me on Welbutrin sr 200 mgs twice a day and topamax 50mg twice a day.
the 'butrins are ok I guess, they give me headaches but im getting use to it now.
The reason he put me on the Topamax is the "switch" in my brain wants to keep storing fat instead of burning it. I'm only 21 and i weigh 400lb. teh government wont help, so things looked bad.
This shrink said that topamax has a 70% weight loss chance, it should help turn off the switch he said.
so my question is, does anyone here now if topamax really does cuase wieght loss? Will it help to reverse my matabolisim?
