> I began Topamax a week ago for chronic migraines. I am supposed to go up to 100mgs. Although most people here are excited about the weight loss, I don't want to loose any weight. I like to maintain it through diet, lifting, and cardio. Will I loose weight on 100mgs?
> May be I'd be better off on Amitriptyline. I opted for Topamax cause I tried Nortriptyline and hated it.
> Are Amitrip and Nortrip pretty much the same?

Nortriptyline is a metabolite of Amitripytine. Amitriptyline has all the same side effects but worse & is far more sedating. Sorry I can't help with the other questions.Cheers,
