> I'm coming in here sort of against the flow of dogs and starting topamax--I'm wondering if the latter has turned me into part of the gruesomely active walking dead. I'm on 300 mg as part of a BP II cocktail, and my good judgement has gone way south--in talking social situations. Foot in mouth syndrome x 5. There are some other pesky side effects. I don't feel like me.
> I've lost about 25 pounds on Topamax which is good and at 62, after 47 years, am no longer strangled by the urge to binge(didn't see the pun, sorry) so I don't want to quit. But I don't want to gain 30 pounds, either. Anybody with experience stopping? Do you really gain weight and do moods really unroll?

>Rainy, dogs don't really belong here so don't worry about that...
as for 300 mg that is a low dose really...
is your dose going up slowly???
I keep reminding people not to increase too quickly so that I sound like an old 8-track on continuous loop rewind but it is important...
and I don't think that it is a problem with foot-in-mouth causer...
at least so far it is not a problem I have found...and I have been on 300 twice a day for quite some time and going up to at least 800 so I hope the world is ready for me if it is a problem LOL
and when you quit the weight gain is reality...
and fast I am told by those who know, the people who ran the tests...so it is a catch-22
