that's interesting... i'd love to know the answer if you find out. i've heard of mood stabilizers like lithium working less well with each time you go off the med, so the incentive is to stay on the drug. regarding appetite supression, though, i would think that time away from the drug would make it more effective in that aspect since weight loss is a side effect and side effects are more noticable when you first start something. the stimulants come to mind. when i first started adderall, it killed my appetite, and i lost weight, but as i got used to it, the appetite suppression diminished, and the weight loss stopped. if i take a medication holiday and then take adderall again after some time away, it feels a lot stronger, especially in the appetite and weight department.
i've never been on topomax, though, and i don't know anything about your question. i'm just as curious as everyone else if anyone has experiences to share.
