>I just stopped taking topomax and I had no appetite either. I was on 300 mg a day. I didn't exercise either. I lost about 25 pounds as well. I also had cravings for healthy food but I also ate food that was fattening every now and then and I just kept losing weight. I stopped taking it because it wasn't controlling my moods. I'm back on depakote. Also, the Side effects like being dopey and the tingling of the feet; all that was too much for me.
good luck
LindaWhen I was on Topamax, I just had NO appetite. I ate anything, but I had cravings for healthy food. It was odd. I didn't exercise either~nope none at all, and I still managed to lose 25.
> I think Topamax was great for the weight issue, I may ask my doc to go back on it for the moods also. But that's just my experience here, and no, I ate more than lettuce leaves........
