You have certainly come to the right place for advice for topamax. Several of the people who frequent this board are taking it, and have very good advice that I have taken, and used it for my daughter who is taking it. Did you say why you are taking it? What type of doctor is giving this to you? He is keeping you on a fairly low dosage, therefor; maybe is planning on taking you up in the future. Listen to the others when they say do it slowely, because I did, when the doc. said otherwise, and it was the right thing to do. Side effects are almost non-existent at lower dosages if you go slower. My daughter went VERY slowely, and it went very well. I don't think she has a decrease in energy, because she continues to work out at the gym and do her other activities. I will tell you that at first she did notice that she was very light headed and almost passed out doing some tumbling during cheerleading. That did pass, but I made sure she had plenty of water.....she girls on here will tell you that is really important. Congrat's on your weight loss!!! That's really great, I realize how hard it is to lose weight and continue to excercise without burnout...keep it up. You have won your battle already and just don't know it. Getting your mindset to lose the weight and stick to a healthy diet and excercise program is the WINNING LOTTERY TICKET, so take it and run!! You are there! What you have to do now is continue what you are already doing....that's nothing new or hard, is it? Feel free to ask anything you like, and babble me if you wish. I love these inspiring posts!! -L
