Wow, I am starting to wish I was taking zonegram instead of topamax! I just talked to the nurse who told me to start on 50 mg today, and see how that goes, then slowly move from there. I guess if I get way too dumb, I will ask if they will switch. I must say, the weight loss was a huge issue for me, because I gained so much weight and haven't been able to lose it from the anti-depressants, but I guess felt a little embarrassed to say that yes, that was a big hope for me although I know it is not meant for weight loss! It is for migraines, I know. But it is an added benefit that it is the first thing that has given me hope in so long, and more than any other medication, lifted my depression in a way, because i feel that maybe I will someday be able to lift some of this weight with the help of this medication. The anti-depressants never worked for my mood, and unfortunately I gained weight, causing more depression. So with any luck, maybe this will help my migraines and my weight. If I begin to get the really fogginess, I will definitely look for Zonegran. thanks - I am drinking TONS of water! Take care, good luck to you! I'll let you know how things go with the migraines!
