In reply to TOPOMAX FOR FAT MAN ACE!!!!!!!, posted by ace on November 8, 2004, at 20:08:35
I'm well over 100 lbs overweight and have been on 100 mgs of Topamax for about a year. I have had a slow steady weight loss without trying. Most of my winter clothes are about 2 sizes too big for me now. I had some of the negative side effects in the begining but they wore off after 2 months or so. I just started Lexapro and Lamictal for severe depression. I'm hoping to increase the Topamax dosage in the hopes of continuing the weight loss affect though I'm not sure if it works that way (or if I really need it to deal with the manias). I hear the weight loss benefit really kicks in at 150 or 200 mgs so I bet I'd get better results at a higher dosage. We'll see.
