In reply to topamax 200 mg and appetite, posted by jessie77 on February 20, 2004, at 16:52:12
Hi Jessie,
I read your post and I thought I was reading about myself. I was on Pax to begin with and now on Lex. I have a pdoc appt next week (27th) and I'm going to ask for Topamax as I have gained so much weight since November 2003 with Paxil and Lexapro. Keep me posted on your weight loss --- okay. Please feel free to email me if you want ... we can compare notes and keep in touch. cocohoneynut@yahoo.com
Good luck and God bless....
> hi,
> i have been on topamax for about 5 weeks, and just 2 days ago went up to 200 mg. I understand this is usually the dosage that results in weight loss or suppression of appetite. I have not yet noticed either of those things, and I would realy like to lose the weight I have gained from Paxil and Lexapro. Is it possible that the it will still "kick in" or am I just one of the not so lucky ones? I know everyone is different. I have not noticed the other cognitive side effects either. Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated.
