Not losing on Topomax(topamax)

by waiting2lose, Jan 12, 2007 12:00AM
I went to my Dr. to help me figure out why I can't loose weight. I eat right, however I am always hungry. I don't exercise as much as I should however I am a very active mother of 2. My day begins at 5:30 and doesn't end until 9:30 almost everyday. I am 41 and 200 pounds. 4 years ago my GYN put me on Prozac for PMDD and the weight began to pour on!!! I quit after a year but I just keep gaining. I was told that Prozac probably chemically changed my metabolism and it won’t go back. My Dr. of the past 3 years has tested me over and over for thyroid and I laughed at her when she wanted to test again. She also has put me on Topomax (topamax), 6 weeks now and said it has done wonders for many other women patients of hers. Well not for me so far. 5 or 6 pounds. I don’t eat much. Still eating right, it just doesn’t taste good now, and beer sucks. Of course I suppose I shouldn’t even be drinking a beer anyway but that used to be my favorite. I am on 75 mil taken at night, should I increase? And, when I wake in the middle of the night to use the restroom, I see trails!!! Is that normal? And yes, numb feet.

I forgot to say that my mood is GREAT! I am NOT a crazy psycho like everyone said I might be. I think it has made my mood better. Has anyone heard of this affect?
