In reply to Topomax and Lexapro, posted by Sara Jo on January 13, 2003, at 23:55:24
I seem to recall decreased appetite dominating my weight loss on Topamax.> Is anyone taking both topomax and lexapro? I'm taking 50mg topomax and 20mg lexapro. I've been on the meds for two weeks--just increased the dose of topomax today. I've been diagnosed with Cyclothymia by one Dr. Went for a second opinion and was given a diagnosis of Bipolar II by another. Anyways, the symptoms of extreme rapid mood changes have improved. I feel much more in control yet I'm not "plastic" as I so ignorantly thought medication would do. The side effects I experienced when I started the meds I thought might interfer with my continuation. However, they have subsided. I'm worried about the increased dose. Also, what is the talk about topomax and its "weight loss" features? Is it weight loss or decreased appetite?
