i have been on seroquel ( antipsychotic ) and neurontin ( mood stabilizer ) several years since being diagnosed in 2000 with bipolar...and have gained 60 lbs. during the course of my treatment.
i would like to introduce topamax to my current treatment regimen and while prepared for the side effects, look forward to the possibility of losing my weight ... it so far has not responded to either exercise or diet, hence, topamax!
i have read both satisfied and disgruntled posts concerning this approach, but must see for myself ... many of the advocates, those who have lost weight, have also quit the offending ( weight-adding ) med. ( ie. lithium, depakote, or an antipsychotic ), can i still lose the weight while maintaining my current treatment regimen?
has anyone lost weight by adding topamax to their current medications?
