I need to lose 100+ pounds. I gained 80 pounds over the last 6 years on anti-depression meds. I no longer take them, but during those years the docs insisted they would make me lose wait not gain. WRONG. I insisted I was gaining weight. They stated it must be my fault. Well, we all know now one of the side effects of many of these drugs is weight gain. Anyway, after the last 30 pounds, I refused to take anymore. I was told by my doctor Topomax would suppress my appetit. I'm skeptical, but encouraged after reading your posts. I've experienced the tingling, but don't know about the soda. I drink water. I've got an incredible thirst. What I am concerned about is an incredible feeling of bloat. I'm constantly burping and feel as if my stomach is going to explode. I also have experienced loss of breathe. It's very unsettling. I've also had problems with stomach distress (IBS). Any thoughts. This is my last chance. I don't want to have to have surgery. It's almost that feeling you have when you are in your ninth month of pregnancy and there isn't any room inside. After I belch, I feel better. Just talking gets me out of breathe.
