Why isn't Topamax working for weight loss?

Posted by Enigma on April 7, 2009, at 16:35:12

A year or two ago, I gained 45 pounds on zyprexa, and thus quit it due to the awful weight gain, around 40 pounds.
Then I was prescribed 200 mg? of Topamax to take the weight off. It worked like a charm. I completely forget how long it took to start working, but I'd have to say, 2-3 weeks, and the weight FLEW off.

I was just recently prescribed Seroquel, and gained even more weight. So I quit taking it a while ago. I gained back everything I lost and then even more. So, naturally, I asked my doc for Topamax again. I've been taking 200mg for just about 4 weeks now, and I haven't lost a single pound, haven't felt my appetite diminish, nothing. It's been like a sugar pill.

I believe I took topamax with the same drugs too (Nardil), besides the above.

Can someone tell me what's wrong this time and why tomapax isn't working?
I can't carry this basketball around anymore, not to mention how it makes me feel. I hide my gut at all costs. Being a thin guy all my life, this weight is VERY hard to deal with. I'm DISGUSTED by how I look. Working out, when I can, and dieting seem to have no effect on my weight, either.
Help!
