> I think you will lose weight with the Topamax! But, you have to give it a little time. I didn't start losing weight with it until I was taking it 5 or 6 weeks and I was on 200 mg. I take it for depression. As soon as I got up to the 200mg, my appetite was almost gone and that is how you lose the weight. A lot of people lost their appetite at even lower doses than 200, but I know it takes at least 3 or 4 weeks, and like I said, for me it was like 6 weeks, so be patient. Good Luck and let me know if you have any other questions about it!Thanks for the reply!!
Ive already lost my appetite! Im on 100mg a day and I only eat 1 meal a day, maybe 2, but the meals are so small, it's almost not enough to keep a bird alive. Dont see any weight loss yet, though.
But another side effect Im noticing. Headaches.
I have headaches every day now. Im also taking Wellbutrin twice a day. But I have crashing terrible headaches everyday, like right above my ears, going backwards (sometimes in my temples)to the back of my head. I read somewhere Topamax can cause Glaucoma, and now of course, Im thinking the worst and thinking it's that.
Does anyone else get terrible headaches??
Thanks!
