I flat out told my Dr I refused to take anything that would make me gain weight...PERIOD. NO IF ANDS OR BUTS. THE END. And he put me on Zyprexa at first. I told him..if I gain..it's gone. He agreed. Well...I gained 5lbs in 3 days.. I said NO MORE! So now I am on the Topomax. Girl, sometimes you just gotta put your foot down and tell them what for! It's YOUR body. And being overweight CERTAINLY doesn't help depression. They really need to do more research on drugs that don't make you gain weight! DUH HELLO! WHy are so many of us depressed? BECAUSE WE'RE FAT! And they think giving us a drug that makes us fatter is going to help? Shoot no, I'd rather be crazy. Maybe Topomax won't work, but hey, it's worth a shot. It has so many uses I never knew it had until I came on here. Tell him you are sick and tired of gaining weight and fighting it and you WANT to be on Topomax, do some research and tell him what you have found. He can't argue with intelligent answers. Worth a shot! Good luck!
