New published summer 2016 double blind study showed that all doses of Topamax (topiramte) 50, 100, and 200mg were shown effective in preventing olanzapine-related obesity in schizophrenic and/or bipolar patients.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27370059I've just started taking Topamax again for the second time (first was way back in 2005 when I took of for maybe 2months). I'm up to 75mg now and doing fine on it as an add on to my normal cocktail. Down a few pounds w. Some minor memory issues. I'm all for dealing with minor sides though for a while if I can shed some of the weight I out on over the years.
I was happy to find this recent study validating it can effecting in offsetting at weight gain caused by atypicals.....
I know people have had bad experiences but try to keep replies positive or related to wt gain or loss if possible....thanks!
