In reply to Question about who benefits from topomax, posted by mair on March 22, 2003, at 8:49:24
You know, I have found that everyone is sensative to different amts of Topamax. I know someone who just began using it at a low dosage of 50 mgs per day and eats less and drinks more water and craves less sugar already after a week. So, who knows. Every little things helps, right? I mean, if Topamax prevents us from taking a bite of something, and eventually that means we have eaten 3500 calories less than we would have without it, then, there's a pound off. It works for me.
We went out to dinner tonight and I had a hard time ordering any food. I'm just not hungry. My whole family had ordered and I had the waiter come back for mine. I ended up getting a grilled veggie sandwich w/side salad & a water. I ate it without appetite but enjoyed it. I think it's the first real meal I've had in a while. I tend to pick. Now I feel bloated, but I'll get over it. Does any one else have this happen? I think my husband was shocked to see me actually eat a meal. Like I said...It's been like a month since I've eaten a whole balanced meal in one sitting. I'm a grazer.
When you say you're "pretty tall", what do you mean? I'm 5'10" and 219 lbs....[11 down, many to go] That's what I call "pretty tall" and 18 lbs over weight would be nice. Right now I need to lose at least 40.
So, I'm rambling, which is my signal to sign off. LOL :) Peace to all,
