> Aleese, you are not alone I haven't had my topamax for a couple of weeks now because the 250 bucks is hard to come by when on disability......but when I go back on them I will be taking as before...200 miligrams and I do NOT see any weight loss either or appetite decrease..I am frusterated also....What IS up with that? I also take 300 mil of wellbutrin daily.

> NettieNettie, I was on welbutrin for a while because of the depression caused by the increased intensity of the epileptic activity until one of my doctors realised that welbutrin causes seizures and it was not a great idea...
it caused me to gain weight... as did another anti-depressant that was prescribed and yet another... so did other meds that were used in an an effort to combat medical conditions that I live with...
some times there are other contributing factors...
I know one person who is on topomax for migraine control and has no problem with the migraines since starting the topomax, but, despite being told that chocolate triggers migraine has always given into cravings for the stuff and still eats it by the boxcar-load...
he does not seem to have any resistance to it despite the topomax even though he admits that it no longer tastes the same...
