thank you sooo much for responding! no i havent tried topomax - im thinking that my pdoc is afraid to put me on anything other than this combo that im on (prozac/ritalin) because i have a tendancy to have seizures and i havent had any so far on this combo.
i have asked him at least 3 times in the past few months to switch me to something else, but he seems insistant that this is what i need to be on. again, i HAVE made alot of progress in terms of not being depressed all the time, but im still eating wayyyy too many sugarsnacks.
the thing that confuses me is that when i do research on the internet regarding these two meds they both say that weight loss is a side effect - what is wrong with me -that im gaining sooo much weight??? it makes me sad tho because now my clothes dont fit and i dont even recognize my swollen face in the mirror. it doesnt help either that im vain. :(
