Hi I have only been on topamax for a little over a couple of months. I am bi polar. I have had alot of things go on in my life Im 35 now to cause my depression. My doctor started me on 25 mg. Im now on 50 mg. I was also taking wellbutrin. I did fine on both these at first but when I started taking the 50 mg i started getting really bad headaches and I wasnt sure what was causing it so I backed of taking the wellbutrin and went back to taking the 25 mg of the topamax and they went away. I have recently went back on the 50 mg of topamax. I had a hysterectomy at the age of 28 and have gained a lot of weight with all the medication (hormonreplacement) Ive been on for so long so I need to loss about 35 pounds. I really want this pill to work for me. But i am cautious. I did loose about 7 pounds as soon as I started taking it and had to quit drinking pop because it tasted awful. But has anyone else had any weight loss with lower dosage or only with the higher dosage such as the 200 mg. And do you know why it is this way. please let me know if you know these anwswers. I alse have had some mental blocks. I can be trying to think of something and just cant. I hate that feeling but I really want to lose this weight. But as for the depression I cant really see that it is helping me as much as I would like it to. Thanks And May God Bless You
