I've been on Zoloft for a few years now (was on Welbutrin, lost about 40 lbs before the antidepressive effects evaporated, and I switched to Zoloft, which is when the 40+ lbs. came back full force). Recently my shrink prescribed Topamax to help counteract the weight-retaining effects of Zoloft. She's suggested 25-50mg, 1-2 times a day (30-45 minutes before lunch and/or dinner). My question is: what's generally the most effective way of taking it? Does it matter if you take it before a meal, or should it stay in your system long enough that the appetite suppressing effects linger even if you were to only take it, say, before going to bed?
Thanks very much for any insights!
