I was actually gaining weight on Parnate, so my pdoc put me on 50mg Topamax. The effects have been amazing. Besides halting the weight gain, i have been slowly losing weight. The best thing was unexpected though - the Topamax worked with the Parnate to boost my motivation and energy and i even lost that mid-day slump of fatigue i had on Parnate alone Plus, i am sleeping better at night now. I count myself as very fortunate. I have had none of the serious side-effects that so many on this board reported about Topamax, and i am on such a low dose, i theoretically shouldnt be losing weight. Just goes to show you, we are all chemically different and you just have to try and keep trying until you find your right med or combo. Melodie
