I think we almost all can agree that a certain amount of weight gain is expected with any anti-depressant. I took Topomax for several months and I as well as some other people I've heard from, really only lost 5 or 6 lbs. Topomax was in my experience, the most HORRIBLE medication I have ever taken. I took it for migraines. I called it the "stupid" drug. I literally could NOT type and correctly spell simple words. I couldn't think clearly. It was terrible. I was glad to be off of it. I take 20 mgs of Lexapro and have gained weight with that. I wish there was a miracle medication for weight loss and depression, but if there is, I haven't heard of it. Good luck to you!!
