Hi thanks stresser for replying. Actually I am taking them because of a condition with depression I have been treated with for years and refuse to go back to the othet pills that I stopped taking and when my job became an over load I had no blocker to avoid my breakdown a few weeks ago and my Dr. put me on
Topomax and when I said PLease NO more Meds he told me that Renee Zellwegger took these to lose weieght but that is not the reason I am taking them. My concern is the weight gain with most of this mood alteting meds and I gained like 20 pounds when i was taking anti depressants. I just started taking these and am only in my 3rd week and just started 1 25 mil morn and 1 25 mil even. I don't know how I feel. All I know is i went off them and lost 2 pounds the week I was off them at weigh in at Jenny Craig and went back on them last week and didn't lose a thing tonight at weigh in and dieted all week. I just am not going to spend this money to diet if these pills are not going to allow my body to shed the weight is my main concern. I am in my 50's and know it is not an easy thing anymore but just the same I need to talk to the people who know who use them not the Dr's that prescribe them if ya know what I mean. I appreciate any info you can give me about them and thanks so much.
