I'd appreciate some advice. I have been on AD for depression for about 10 years. I am currently on Effexor XR 150 and I am generally hppy but have had gradual weight gain (which is unusual I hear on Effexor). I am almost 30 yrs old and the weight gain is getting out of control. Recently I heard that topiramate is being researched by J&J as a weight loss drug. My question: Does topiramate really cause weight loss? Is it *significant* weight loss? (also, yes, I have had my thyroid check and I have tried Wellbutrin & Prozac in the past)
Thanks for you thoughts.
