> Nice to have you on the board. I haven't been on here too long, and have asked the exact question you are asking. The others can probably answer with more knowledge than I can, but I will tell you that my daughter was put on topamax for binge eating disorder, and because she gained weight on Lexapro. She has been on it for seven weeks, and is just now up to 225 mg per day. We have no seen any weight loss yet. I don't if it's because she needs a higher dose, or if it's just not going to work. Keep us posted. Gotta go to work. -L
You have 'seen' no weight loss yet...
does she tell you her weight?
has she needed a change of wardrobe?
has her self-esteem changed?there are subtle changes that indicate weight loss and not always read in pounds...
I know without getting on the scale that I have lost weight this past few days...
the blue suede slacks I was about to give up on fit me again... although I had not realised how short they are...
now I have to find a way to let them down sigh... without leaving the tell-tale marks...
and without my usual leave-it-for-another-day attitude of course...how does she feel about herself??? that is key...
and is she helping you work toward that exam for that course??? helping you overcome that chocolate urge???
remember, include her in your being a human and it will help her so very much....kat who wishes she had known these things when her kids were teens
