First I'd like to say CONGRATULATIONS on losing 150 lbs in 2 years. Can you tell me what your experience is with Topomax and besides taking the Topomax what you did in the way of eating and exercise to lose the weight? I've also heard that Wellbrutin can cause weight loss as well. Do you think that was a contributing factor for you?
Could you also tell me what your diagnosis is, mine is BP-II and Complex PTSD and possible BPD.
I'm currently on Depakote and going to my pdoc tomorrow to start tapering down on that and introducing Topomax. The reason for the change is twofold: to lose weight (lots hopefully) and to stop hair loss.
I've read from the replies of other posters (can't recall who, sorry!) that Topomax makes you cold???? Also, losing weight quickly will do the same thing. I'd rather be cold then fat though. lol!!!
Again Congratulations on your weight loss and any advice in that area that you can give me and/or sharing your Topomax experience would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Angel Girl
