I started Topamax (at 25mg/day) one week ago for
(1)To loose some weight from the rapid SSRI gain (15% of my body mass in a couple of months)
(2) A mood stabilizer
(3) chronic pain medMy questions about Topamax are:
(1) At what dose does the weight loss begin?
(2) How fast does the weight come off?
(3) Typically, at what dose do the cognitive side effects kick in?
(4) Might using a better pain agent (Neurontin) and going on Atkins be a better way to loose the weight?I am also on 200mg/day of provigil and
40 mg/day of celexa. My main problem right now is extreme fatigue. I am in a grueling rehab program to recover from some injuries and I cannot be this exhausted all the time. Not to mention that I drink about 4 liters of water a day and I am still thirsty all of the time. Also, I am constanting yawning.Thanks beforehand.
