Hi Res! I just wanted to followup and let you know how the combination Topomax/Weight Watchers program was working out. Okay, here we go. It's been 4 weeks and I'm up to 100 mg of Topomax and starting week 5 of WW. I've lost 20 lbs. and this is week 2 of my 100 mg dosage. To refresh you, I started at 25 mg, progressing weekly by 25 mg up to 100 mg. My Dr. had prescribed the Topomax for pseudotumor cerebri and papilledema. The headaches have all but stopped. I have experienced some insomnia but nothing unbearable. My instructions are to take the meds before bedtime so I've started taking them maybe 2-3 hrs. before I plan on going to sleep. That seems to rectify that. Have had some tingling of extremities but nothing overwhelming. Just wanted to followup with you and let you know. Write back...wanting to hear about you too. Hope all is well!
