Now that it is December please let me know how your weight loss ended up? I have been on Prozac for years and argued with my general doctor about the weight gain. I knew it was not normal I went from a size 6 at 125 quickly to a size 10 and have landed at a size 16 at 185. My highest and most depressing was 194. Keep in mind I am only 5'1". I finally took myself off the medicine dropped 20 lbs. I realized not being on the medicine was not wise and the weight has crept back.
After much hesitation I went to a Psychiatrist and he put me on Topamax and Lexapro. I've been on the Topomax for 2 wks and I'm at 50mgs. I've dropped a few lbs., enough to go down a size already. Sodas are nasty, my fingers are tingly, my mouth is dry, and I keep seeing points of light in my right eye, but if I lose weight I'll deal with all the silly things. Please update me on how Topamax worked with your weight loss.
THANKS!
