Hi,
Well I am new to this and am so glad to have found this forum. I am now taking topomax after taking the dreaded fat pills prozac and lexapro, welbutrin all the above. You might say I have had a bit of stress and been depressed in my life. Well I did a dumn thing a while back and just quit the damn lexapro when i started jenny Craig and spent 500 bucks and gained a pound I knew that something was wrong. I went off the pills .....cold turkey and well i just kept myself in for a few weeks ..was in between jobs at the time and just told everyone to not call ..and I just delt with it.....I did lose the 20 pounds that I had gained ...ok 15 .....ok 13... Then I get thisa great job that has a manger who was intimidated by the fact that my qulifications had highere ups looking at me to fill the position that she was failing at and I didn't want it.I was just happy selling diamonds and doing my job without the management stuff that I am qualified to do that led me into taking meds in the first place. She made my job a living hell and then fabricated lies that through me over the edge and forced me to have to resign. I loved my job and well the depression is back and my Dr. kept me out of work for 8 days when I returned she just wanted me out so I was pushed to keep my dignity I walked and now on disability and taking topomax which I didn't want to have to do. I trust my Dr. but......I am so afraid of gaining the weight back and started Dieting again because I am so worried that these pills are going to do it to me again, Somebody please tell me that won't happen. i have read and read and my Dr. tells me these are what Renee Zellwigger took after she made that movie and then lost all that weight......I say he is reading the Enquire again! I know I need the pills but I stopped them then I had to start them again because I know I need them. Anybody somebody tell me will I gain weight again.......or is this the breakthrough pill for the stressed without that terrible side effect. I need to know, Thank you so much and I am looking forward to making friends here. Need to connect. I have closed myself up lately really bad. Thanks all....... Nettie
