Hi everyone-
I started the 200mgs on or about 9/19. I said I wasnt gonna weigh myself till the end of Sept. to give it all a fair shot at working. Well, I changed my mind. Im not gonna weigh myself. I can tell Im not losing. You know when you are, right? I know I will go into a catastrophic depression if I do, because when I see I havent lost an ounce or maybe gained, I will cascade down, crawl into bed or God knows what.
Im not seeing my dr. till Oct. 13, so I have no one to ask but you seasoned vets. How long does it take to kick in at 200mgs a day? Im only at barely 2 weeks. Am I asking too much? I am the QUEEN of instant gratification, so maybe, eh? EVERYONE is asking "are the pills working?" which is driving me NUTS, Im eating about 2 meals a day, hardly any snacking, maybe 1-2 snacks a week, lots of water, but I dont feel like Im losing anything.
I see some people on here say they lost 20-25 lbs in 2 months. 2 months from WHEN? From when they started Topamax? From when they started 200mgs? 300mgs? Do I sound like a LUNATIC? ;o)
Thanks...
Bear
