In reply to Topamax dose for weight loss??, posted by darkhorse on December 20, 2004, at 8:33:06
Hi Adam,
As little as 50mg topiramate a day may produce significant weight loss. If you haven't seen any benefit after taking 50mg/day for a few months you could increase the dose. Doses >100mg may be slightly more effective but side effects are common. Cognitive impairment can be a big problem for people on high doses of topiramate. If you do decide to increase the dose, it is best to do so very gradually. Rapid increases in dose tend to be poorly tolerated.
All the best,
Ed.
