Hey... Im new to topamax too, im quite obese and im only on 25mgs a day so when i hear that some of you guys are on 150 a day i really wanna increase my dose! I havent noticed any affect, but im being a bit eager cos ive only been on them 4 days hehe :) But id like to chat to others and find out stuff about it for sure!! message on here then maybe we can email...

> I felt the decrease in appetite immediately....then I wanted to eat like a pig again. I went up to 50 mgs, lost some appetite, started eating a lot again, etc...am now at 150/day. All of the other side effects are there again, and I am getting the appetite under control, but how many stupid milligrams am I going to have to take before I see results? I am really disenchanted and sad about this. Why go through the other side effects if I am not going to stop eating like a sow???
